The observations come, at a time when a warming trend could have been expected from the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to extensive fuel burning. The gas inhibits the escape of solar heat from the earth. Dr. Kukla, in a telephone interview this week, said that the cause of the apparent cooling remained unknown and that no scientific attempt to predict whether the trend would continue was possible. Monitoring of the various indexes is continuing, he added.

..... Hmmm ...... I have been reading that it appears that we are actually in the early onset stages of a Solar Maximum in Solar Cycle 25 .... Which could make things very interesting .... Climate Wise ..... on this planet ....

Back in the dark days, before our modern sophisticated climate modeling, they didn’t know that all you had to do was adjust the historical data down. Now there’s enough global warming to justify all of your socialist fantasies.

They are entitled to their opinion.

It’s because of global warming. Heard it just a few days ago. Science.

One has to discern the (est) time periods of:

-- 1930's-1970's, society disregard for water/air quality
-- 1973-1988, the coming ice age
-- 1992 - 2016, global warming
-- 2016 - present, climate change.

The ice age, the global warming predictions did not come about.
For every so-called 'record' event, there were revelation that real record events existed in different times. Example, the 2005 hurricanes of Katrina/Rita were to usher in more years of extremes hurricanes. Yet the following years weather was more mild.
AND the hurricane records of 1933 still stood.

For the early 2000's, in the midst of 'global warming', Europe, Siberia, Canada...experienced record low winter temps in 2003, 2004, 2005....
AND the record high temps of the 1910's still stood.

The term 'global warming' became a punch line for so many jokes...hence the creation of the ultimate catchall term 'climate change'.

The coming Ice Age was all the rage when I was growing up, we were Definitely facing extermination until they decided all that pollution that brought on this new Ice Age, was actually turning the planet into a blazing inferno.

Amazing what a few short years did to 30 years of doom and gloom Science!
