Also: “Many scientists agree, however, that hotter times are ahead.”

It is down to ‘many’ now.

Anyone dumb enough to still be falling for the global cooling/global warming/climate change bullsh** really needs to get some help. They aren’t only gullible, they’re dumber than a bag of hammers.

A decade of level or slightly lower temperatures is only a temporary dip to be expected

So many lies and distortions, so I'll just address the one above: It is criminal intellectual dishonesty to characterize a complete retracement of all the increase in temperature for the past 30 years as merely "slightly lower temperatures," and/or as "dip to be expected" in spite of the massive increase in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide over that same period.

They will still be crying “masking” when we all freeze to death. Give it up already global warmers, your theory is junk and you know it. Just admit it, become conservatives and enjoy Truth for a change......sheesh.

Cmon, moonbats, it is a LOT more satisfying to be on the side of reason and logic than on the side of flaming imbecilic raving emotion. Al Gore is a fraud, Harold Hill has nothing on him. Stop being idiots....NOW!

Challenge to Warmers: Find a prediction, prior to 1998, that we’d enter a decade of cooling. How good are the models then?

Second challenge: That the cooling would be .12 degrees per decade! That’s unmistakably relevant.

www.woodfortrees.org gives you access to three global temperature databases, the ones climate scientists use.

My electric bill for the past two moths has been 20% lower this summer than last year due to the AC not having run as much.

Many scientists agree, however, that hotter times are ahead. A decade of level or slightly lower temperatures is only a temporary dip to be expected as a result of natural, short-term variations in the enormously complex climate system, they say.

That is funny, in the 1990's a decade of high temperatures was more than enough to convince global warmers that the earth's temperature is rising out of control. They fully expected temperature increases to keep accelerating. Hey, but now a decade long cooling trend is expected natural variations. How can any of these idiots actually have a degree in science?

Everybody knows a global cooling trend is evidence of global warming. We’re all doomed!

McClatchy numbnuts should acknowledge that all the BS about ‘tipping points’ ‘things being worse than we thought’ and all the the projections of global warming from 10 years ago are essentially garbage that should never have been inflicted on the world.

“”The preponderance of evidence is that global warming will resume,” Nicholas Bond”

Aside from unvalidated computer models, I’m not sure what that “evidence” is.

It is certainly not any of that old fashioned stuff of stating a hypothesis in advance, using the hypothesis to make a prediction about reality that is different than other hypotheses would predict, and then testing whether the evidence is consistent with the prediction to predetermined confidence levels.

yea..... all this means is that they DON”T KNOW HOW THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WORKS! But sure as a bear s**ts in the woods they are gonna write legislation killing a million jobs on it! (Face Palm) Yea they will be saying that while lookin for the gas powered space heater in the middle of the worst ice storms in 50 years.... “Oooooo its global warming! Oooooooo” Good LORD.

Just proves you can’t fix stupid.

Wait, aren't the ice caps melting NOW? Are they melting in anticipation of heat?

"The stupid dumbass sheeple actually believed that humans can control the temperature on the planet by wiping their ass with 3 pieces of toilet paper instead of wrapping the whole roll around their hand! Anyone with a brain knows its the Sun that controls the temperature in the galaxy!!!!!!!!!! They'll believe anything if the McClatchy papers that we control print it."

According to data from the National Space Science and Technology Center in Huntsville, Ala. , the global high temperature in 1998 was 0.76 degrees Celsius (1.37 degrees Fahrenheit) above the average for the previous 20 years.

They always like to start their trend from the middle 1970s to show global warming as the mid 1970s were a cool time after about four decades of global cooling.

If they started their trending in 1934 it would show 1998 as a bit cooler than 1934 and the long term trend would be almost flat therefore not requiring new taxes, rationing and government control.

"The preponderance of evidence is that global warming will resume," Nicholas Bond , a meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seattle , said in an e-mail.

I wonder if he realizes that's a legal term of art meaning "50% of the evidence plus one sliver." So much for "the debate is over."

So the earth has been cooling for eleven years and the New York Times hasn’t figured it out yet?
