BBC: "Global Warming" stalled since 1998.

Admitting that there has been no increase in global temperatures since 1988 despite increases in carbon dioxide, these same climate scientists insist that this does not invalidate their theory that we're all going to die.

Since 1998, there has been an unexplained "standstill" in the heating of the Earth's atmosphere.

Writing in Nature Geoscience, the researchers say this will reduce predicted warming in the coming decades.

But long-term, the expected temperature rises will not alter significantly.

 

The slowdown in the expected rate of global warming has been studied for several years now. Earlier this year, the UK Met Office lowered their five-year temperature forecast.

The latest theory is that all the additional CO2 is hiding in the ocean, planning to play peek-a-boo at some time when we least expect it and give us a good scare. Meanwhile I'm totally confident that the editors of the Virginian Pilot are at work right now on the new editorial blaming the tornadoes in Kansas on global warming.
