Global warming has slowed down over the past 10 years, say scientists

The rate at which global temperatures are rising has slowed in the past decade, scientists said today.

In a report published today, the Met Office said the slow in the rate of warming was down to a combination of natural variation in the weather and pollution.

Scientists say one of the major factors is the rise in heavy industry and pollutant 'aerosols', particularly in Asia.

An upsurge in industrial emissions such as sulphur which are being pumped into the atmosphere reflects sunlight and could lead to a cooling effect. Changes in the amount of water vapour in the stratosphere may also be a factor, the report suggests.

The admission will be seized upon by climate sceptics as evidence that man-made global warming has been overstated.

This is one of the reasons that Obama wants to double our electricity prices. He’s a buffoon.

[delacoert]

Hehe. Maybe Obama will get a second Nobel prize - this one for stopping global warming.

How can something that does not exist slow down????

Yeah, especially when democrats and liberals lose elections.

I'm thinking of a word, it rhymes with crocked...

back to the 1970s argument that pollution causes global cooling

[ully2]

Oh horrors, global cooling.

[wonkowasright]

Oh horrors, global cooling.

Oh no not global cooling again.... I don't know how I survived it 40 years ago the last time it was doing us all in. Then I ducked that global warming.... I was hoping for a bout of global moderation :)

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[fhayek]

Yeah, that’s because climate scientists have been called for high sticking.

[popdonnelly]

An inconvenient truth.

It has slowed so much that it never happened.

I wish these people would quit doing self-parody. It makes making fun of them too easy.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Does this mean they’re criminal global warming deniers?

Global warming worrier... Does this saddEn you or make you happy?
