Global warming 'pause' was a natural fluctuation, scientists say

Climate change skeptics have suggested a recent slowdown in the warming of the Earth is evidence that global warming is a farce and that climate models can't be trusted, but new research suggests the slowdown, or "pause," was not a significant disruption of larger trends.

The planet has been slowly warming over the last century or more. But in the last 15 years, that rate of warming has slowed. Temperatures are still high by historical standards; but between 1998 and 2013 they were slightly below what climate models had predicted. A small number of scientists and policy makers have pointed to the slowdown and discrepancy as proof that climatologists -- and the wider theory of global warming -- can't be trusted.

Global warming has returned to Michigan today with a high near 90 expected. Back into the 70s tomorrow.

Who cares about rear-view mirror climate analysis? Weather prediction “science” is still not a science.

Human development should focus on ecological balance.

How many bald eagles and bats you can wipe out with a windmill balanced against the minimum amount of power generated on the handful of days it's actually generating power.

You ever notice how they used to call it “man made global warming”, then a few years ago they started calling it “anthropomorphic climate change”? They found that people were skeptical that humans were making the climate warmer, so they started using “anthropomorphic” since it sounds more scientific and most people don’t know what it means, and “climate change” since it covers any kind of weather. I refuse to play the game, and continue to use “man-made global warming”.

A natural fluctuation in what they’ve always claimed is an unnatural phenomena?

That’s proof they’re lying.

Too right!

I remember when the damn ecologists tried to destroy Bundy based on their flawed concept of ecological balance - not caring that the tortoises actually relied on the manure left by Bundy’s cows.

They didn’t care about the truth. They just wanted the small-government guy destroyed.

Which is an important lesson. ‘Ecological balance’ is always a mask for Marxism - a mask for totalitarian control.

The really sad and disgusting thing is that taxpayers pay the salaries of these bogus “scientists” through grants or through college salaries. These hobos should be rounded-up and beaten with their worthless dissertations.

. But in the last 15 years, that rate of warming has slowed.

A bald-faced lie. It is clear the world is cooling, and these tyrants try to hold the party line. They'll still be yapping when the northern countries can no longer grow grain.

Environmentalism is best done by private owners.

I’m an “environmentalist” but have no wish to impose it on anyone else. My yard is a jungle by my choice and I love watching the wildlife. On the other hand, I’m watching the wildlife from inside an air conditioned house today.

The REAL fact (your caps) is that the Earth has been warming and cooling in a cyclic fashion for hundreds of thousands of years. The cycle is something like 100,000 years of extreme cold, followed by 10,000 - 20,000 years of warming.

The transition back to cold takes less than 100 years.

Care to guess where we are in the cycle?

Yeah, the “Mother Earth” effect. Anthropogenic is what the lefties want to label Earth. The Earth is not “alive”. They want everyone to believe, “because we are here that proves we should not be here.”

We generally call that line of thought “conservativism” too. Nature conservation and the love of it is important. I’ve never met a liberal that didn’t want to tear down an established greenbelt to “protect” something.

Temperatures are still high by historical standards;...

That is nothing other than a bald faced lie.

Earth's temperature is currently way down near the low end of its historical natural fluctuations.

Well at least they admit there is a pause now. That is a first step to sanity.

The global warmers models have never been correct. Why should we believe this?
