Global Warming News: cooling trends began 20 years ago. Scientists are the last to admit this fact, but this is where they are, today !

Editor’s  notes:  this excerpt [below] says it all.  It includes the cooling facts of supposed “crisis warming trends,” as well the belief that what warming trends there are,  do little but increase the growing season,  a major plus for the starving nations of this world. 

Truth be told,  cooling trends began 20 years ago, (see the article, here).  There are a number of media reports confirming this trend,  yet,  the fear mongers continue with their mantra,  while the general public continues to play its games and ignore all of the debate.  Understand that the reporting on this issue comes from the liberal "Reuters."  Nothing "conservative select" in this post.  In fact,  there is a more damaging article found in the DailyMail.co.uk under this headline:  

Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released... and here is the chart to prove it

(Reuters - April 16) - Scientists are struggling to explain a slowdown in climate change that has exposed gaps in their understanding and defies a rise in global greenhouse gas emissions.

Often focused on century-long trends, most climate models failed to predict that the temperature rise would slow, starting around 2000. Scientists are now intent on figuring out the causes and determining whether the respite will be brief or a more lasting phenomenon.  [understand that "brief" is the term best used to describe the warming push,  something that was not hinted at before the 1980's  -  blog editor]. 

Getting this right is essential for the short and long-term planning of governments and businesses ranging from energy to construction, from agriculture to insurance. Many scientists say they expect a revival of warming in coming years. [But they offer no modeling,  no evidence of any kind for this conclusion  -  blog editor]

Theories for the pause include that deep oceans have taken up more heat with the result that the surface is cooler than expected, that industrial pollution in Asia or clouds are blocking the sun, or that greenhouse gases trap less heat than previously believed.

The change may be a result of an observed decline in heat-trapping water vapor in the high atmosphere, for unknown reasons. It could be a combination of factors or some as yet unknown natural variations, scientists say.

[Funny but the article does not mention Occam's razor and the simplest reason for the problem,  namely that these alarmists are wrong - editor.]  

. . . . . . . . . .    "The climate system is not quite so simple as people thought," said Bjorn Lomborg, a Danish statistician and author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist" who estimates that moderate warming will be beneficial for crop growth and human health.

Some experts say their trust in climate science has declined because of the many uncertainties. The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had to correct a 2007 report that exaggerated the pace of melt of the Himalayan glaciers and wrongly said they could all vanish by 2035.

"My own confidence in the data has gone down in the past five years," said Richard Tol, an expert in climate change and professor of economics at the University of Sussex in England.  (read the full article, here).
