Whether the latest Met Office report will eventually be covered by the world press remains unclear.

Its clear to me that it will not be covered.

Global Climate Warming Stopped 15 Years Ago

Yeah, well, John Lennon died 30 years ago and we still hear his music.

Hotair just posted on this. My comment: First off, we’re recovering from the well-documented Little Ice Age c. 1300 to 1850. So, the warming has been natural, it’s been nothing to get alarmed about, so to speak. And the Medieval Warm Period was warmer than today. So there is nothing unusual about current temperatures. In other words, there’s nothing wrong with the climate, but we’ve just blown $90 billion on worthless windmills and the like, and we are shutting down coal plants en masse, blocking pipelines, and pushing for $10 a gallon gas, all for alleged climate change. Insanity.
And by the way, the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period were 2 things that Michael Mann suppressed in his fabricated debunked Hockey Stick graph. And by the way also, the Hockey Stick is essential for the AGW hypothesis. The hockey stick is bunk. So so is AGW.

I’ll bet this story NEVER makes my local newspaper...

Doesn’t matter if libtard theology is proven false. They just move onto the next big lie/scam.
Meanwhile,their last lie/scam is nearly inpossible to reverse because it is tangled up in bureaucracy (or barrackracy).
Look at all the other scams that are basically offshoots of global warming.

Despite having claimed in 2009 that if there were no warming for 15 years it would be time for climate alarmists to “get worried,” Jones now says 15 years is not a long enough span to draw any conclusions. At least 20 years will be needed before the climate hysteria can be reconsidered...

And if 5 more years pass without appreciable warming, they will say we need 25 years or 30 years (or more) to be sure that the warming trend has broken. By then there will be some new scare that requires a world government to control our every move and steal wealth from developed nations to "save the planet." My bet for the next crisis is coral bleaching/ocean acidification, which conveniently for the "clean energy" crowd is also supposedly caused by higher levels of atmospheric CO2. In their mind this new crisis would still justify all those subsidies for windmills, solar cells and biofuels. More importantly to them, this new crisis would allow them to claim that global control over energy production and consumption is still "necessary."

Another article from the UK Mail Online


From the article: Some climate scientists, such as Professor Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, last week dismissed the significance of the plateau, saying that 15 or 16 years is too short a period from which to draw conclusions.

Others disagreed. Professor Judith Curry, who is the head of the climate science department at America’s prestigious Georgia Tech university, told The Mail on Sunday that it was clear that the computer models used to predict future warming were ‘deeply flawed’.

Even Prof Jones admitted that he and his colleagues did not understand the impact of ‘natural variability’ – factors such as long-term ocean temperature cycles and changes in the output of the sun. However, he said he was still convinced that the current decade would end up significantly warmer than the previous two.


Given that they don't understand the impact of 'natural variability', how can they possibly make credible predictions about how the climate will change???

the United Kingdom’s National Weather Service, known as the Met Office, quietly released a report last week conceding that so-called “global warming” actually stopped more than 15 years ago.

I respectfully ask "the Met Office" the following pertinent question, to wit: How is something 'stopped' when it actually never 'started' in the first place?
