Change is what the climate does: Thanks for the Confirmation

Thanks for the Confirmation

While reading comments on various articles put out by the sympathetic CAGW MSM one wanker will always challenge a skeptic to give a reference for the fact that was quoted. The claim is always not amenable to the CAGW meme. Often the claim is that the global mean temperature stopped rising 15+ years ago despite the rapid increase in CO2 in the atmosphere during that time.

The MSM has carried stories about this ‘pause’ or hiatus’ in the warming and asked CAGW scientists for an explanation. So far at least 10 have been offered. The offerings are interesting because they affirm the existence of the lack of warming for 15+ years. It is now acknowledged by both ‘sides’ to be real. Otherwise there is nothing to offer an explanation for.

The first seven offered include: 1) Low Solar Activity; 2) Oceans Ate Warming; 3) Chinese Coal Use; 4) Montreal Protocol; 5) Readjusted past temps to claim ‘pause’ never existed 6) Volcanoes 7) Decline in Water Vapor. Pacific Trade Wind strengthening is #8. Google will help you verify this summary.

The 10 explanations indicate that the science is not settled and the experts do not agree. Do they have any idea what they are talking about? So much for consensus. Since no one explanation is a clear front runner the debate has just begun. And further since the global climate models did not anticipate the bend in the runway they have fallen off the catwalk and been discredited by Mother Nature. CO2 is not the superpower heat trapping gas it has been made out to be. It turns out that Mother Nature is a CAGW DENIER!!!

How ironic!

The settled science is in a state of chaos just like the atmosphere it seeks to understand. The global climate models couldn’t predict ‘the pause’ relieving CO2 of its starring role in the climate drama and replacing it with what? Perhaps a more NATURAL cause?

And then along comes Miskolczi with yet another reason to explain the pause. It will be no surprise to him since his theory predicts a plateau. It only takes one who is correct to blow the CAGW meme to pieces.
