But Carl Mears, senior scientist at Remote Sensing Systems who created the data set underlying the red satellite line, said temperature trends depend on the year chosen as the starting point. If you go back to 1993, for example, then all four lines show an increase in temperatures.

Uh, Cruz didn't say there has been no Global Warming in 22 years. This is so typical of Liberal analysis. They bitch and moan that Cruz is being selective in his data and then they are selective in their data.

Did automobiles and coal fired power plants first appear in 1993?

[fatnotlazy]

Yeah and in 1993 (March 17) we had a blizzard.

But it's “settled science,” doncha know.

[tanknetter]

Yeah, they go back 22 years to get the numbers that fit the narrative.

The 15 (or 17?) year “pause” in global warming is well documented. Cato had a report not too long ago that documented something like 40 different theories by (reputable?) climateologists as to why it was happening.

On top of that, about 10 years ago one of the big climatologists was presented with the data showing the then 5 year “pause”. He responded that it was statistically insiginificant/irrelevant and would only matter if it lasted 15 years or so.

If someone knows where a link to those are, I’d appreciate having them posted!
