The United Nations, ever eager to embrace global warming, has a new climate report to be released that claims scientists are more certain than ever that global warming is real, but now there is hard evidence that global surface temperatures have stabilized over the last 15 years according to the U.K.s weather-watching Met Office.

In June, David Whitehouse of the Global Warming Policy Foundation wrote, “The absence of any significant change in the global annual average temperature over the past 16 years has become one of the most discussed topics in climate science. It has certainly focused the debate about the relative importance of greenhouse gas forcing of the climate versus natural variability.”
Of course, climate change advocates are trying their best to offer an explanation for the lack of global warming; a draft of the AR5 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is due to be published in Oct. 2014, tries its best to address the situation. As Reuters environment correspondent Alister Doyle cited from the report:
Scientists believe causes could include: greater-than-expected quantities of ash from volcanoes, which dims sunlight; a decline in heat from the sun during a current 11-year solar cycle; more heat being absorbed by the deep oceans; or the possibility that the climate may be less sensitive than expected to a build-up of carbon dioxide.
The draft hedges its bets, stating that it has medium confidence: that the global warming halt is due in roughly equal measure to the aforementioned factors.
The U.N. hurriedly tried to hedge its bets, too, saying of the draft:
The text is likely to change in response to comments from governments received in recent weeks and will also be considered by governments and scientists at a four-day approval session at the end of September. It is therefore premature and could be misleading to attempt to draw conclusions from it.
But just as the report stated that 95% of scientists believe that mans actions cause global warming, climate change advocates quickly reasserted their belief in their omniscience; climate scientist Michael Mann wrote, The report is simply an exclamation mark on what we already knew: Climate change is real and it continues unabated, the primary cause is fossil fuel burning, and if we dont do something to reduce carbon emissions we can expect far more dangerous and potentially irreversible impacts on us.
Just shorten it to “UN struggles with data.”
After all, to analyze data, one needs intelligence.
And right now, the entire UN staff is sharing one IQ point.
The first line of the report is:
“It was a dark and stormy night....”
They went from global warming to climate change. May I suggest season change next? You know, like when $300 million dollar man Al Gore showed those mountains in his fictionary movie “An inconvenient truth” in the winter time and then in the spring time and claimed the snow was gone because of global warming when in fact it was the change of the seasons.
Algore seen here celebrating just after reading the most recent IPCC report. He immediately went from here to the 5,000 square foot money counting house and vault addition to his $20 million California mansion.
This climate-change stuff is nothing more than a Liberal Power Grab. What everyone called “weather” was renamed “Global Warming”; but then wherever Al Gore showed up there was a record cold spell, so it’s now “Climate Change”. Next thing you know, the climate change folks will try to disprove the old adage, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody (until now) does anything about it.” - with your hard-earned money of course. One thing we know now that we didn’t know before is that scientists can also be bought to fall in line behind a political agenda.

He’d have to improve considerably for me to see him in that light.
It was a dark and stormy night....
That's hilarious. I hope it's not lost on other FReepers.
IOW, It’s real, we just can’t prove it.......damn it!..........Trust us!.........
It was a hot and sultry day.............
They have been ‘to the mountain top’ don’t ya know! now it’s ‘deep ocean warming’. What measures this? How long has it been going on ?
The lack of evidence of globull warming is caused by globull warming.
Yup. Since the public is so gullible it's insanely easy to create a "problem," get people scared about it, and make money "solving" it. Amazing racket.
NASA published an article this week, saying ocean levels failed to rise because of floods in Australia. Only those who want to believe a lie . . . .
"...greater-than-expected quantities of ash from volcanoes, which dims sunlight"
Tantamount to an admission that climate change has essentially nothing to do with human activity... except there are lots of climate change people saying that volcanoes have nothing to do with the 'problem'.
"...a decline in heat from the sun during a current 11-year solar cycle..."
Also an admission that climate change has essentially nothing to do with human activity.
"...more heat being absorbed by the deep oceans..."
Entirely speculative. Convenient since nobody is measuring this.
"...or the possibility that the climate may be less sensitive than expected to a build-up of carbon dioxide."
The blind squirrels found themselves a nut. Huh.
