The Pause in Global Warming Is Real, Admits Climategate Scientist

It’s so hot in Phoenix that airplanes can’t fly

Not to worry. That was a couple of days ago. It has cooled down since, and is presently a pleasant 111 degrees.

Did Global Warming Really ‘Pause’ During the 2000s? A new study explains why the controversial hiatus doesn’t amount to much.

Most scientific accounts of the hiatus say it was over by 2009. It has now ended by any measure. 2014, 2015, and 2016 all set new global temperature records, and eight of the 10 hottest years in the 120-year meteorological record have occurred in the last decade. A new paper takes stock of the global-warming hiatus, comparing scientific and popular accounts of the phenomenon. It finds that—just as scientists predicted throughout the episode—the existence of the hiatus did not disprove climate change. Nor did it indicate that global warming had halted or even slowed down. And more importantly, they find that the existence of the hiatus does not change end-of-century predictions for global warming.

Phoenix is in the desert, it gets real hot there.

Yep. And it’s going to get even hotter, and a whole lot drier. Just a few degrees of average temperature increase will hit environments like that of Phoenix much harder than other areas.

I wouldn’t worry too much about Yellowstone, cable TV sensationalism notwithstanding. The odds are in our favor. This, from the United States Geological Survey:

QUESTION: What is the chance of another catastrophic volcanic eruption at Yellowstone?

ANSWER: Although it is possible, scientists are not convinced that there will ever be another catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone. Given Yellowstone’s past history, the yearly probability of another caldera-forming eruption can be approximated as 1 in 730,000 or 0.00014%. However, this number is based simply on averaging the two intervals between the three major past eruptions at Yellowstone — this is hardly enough to make a critical judgment. This probability is roughly similar to that of a large (1 kilometer) asteroid hitting the Earth. Moreover, catastrophic geologic events are neither regular nor predictable.

All your argument is based on the intentionally faulty computer models and the intentionally mislocated temperature sensors.

All of your links are to propaganda websites. Realclimatescience is the work of Steven Goddard—aka Tony Heller—a climate change conspiracy theorist. He’s an electrical engineer with a BS in geology, who has never worked in climate research. Whatsupwiththat is politically conservative and a repeat purveyor of disinformation. It’s run by Anthony Watts, an AM Radio weatherman who attended Purdue University for 7 years without managing to graduate with a degree in anything. Notrickszone, a denialist blog operating out of Germany, is the work of Pierre Gosselin, an expatriate American with degrees in civil and mechanical engineering. He’s not exactly an expert in the field of climate change. He wrote an article titled Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations At 400 PPM Are Still Dangerously Low For Life On Earth. (Uh, yeah. We’re all gonna die for lack for atmospheric CO2. )

@Greg: And yet, their information reflects the reality while the information you put your faith in is always inaccurate.

Hmmm…..

@Greg: greg, I think you should look at charts that cover the last 500,000 years and you will see many times when the temperatures were much higher than now. And I will even point out that those high temperatures were not ‘man made’ because there were no ‘man’ on earth.
Your referenced article about ‘too hot to fly’ was also misleading. It was only too hot for one particular type of plane to fly, all the others had no problems.
Is honesty too much to ask of Dumbocraps?
