It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Alarmists in Denial


“Sceptics who still doubt anthropogenic climate change have now been stripped of one of their last-ditch arguments: It is true that there has been a warming hiatus and that the surface of the earth has warmed up much less rapidly since the turn of the millennium than all the relevant climate models had predicted. However, the gap between the calculated and measured warming is not due to systematic errors of the models, as the sceptics had suspected, but because there are always random fluctuations in the Earth’s climate.

Sounds more like Alarmists last ditch effort to save a failed theory. Good to see them admit that which cannot be denied: It is true that there has been a warming hiatus and that the surface of the earth has warmed up much less rapidly since the turn of the millennium than all the relevant climate models had predicted. Analysis here.

And that they can’t predict ‘random fluctuations in the Earth’s climate’. Now we are getting somewhere. The IPCC knew this back in 2001 before they went on their ‘sky is falling’ trip which is far more lucrative than admitting what you know you don’t know. .

” … In climate research and modelling, we should recognise that we are dealing
with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the
long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.”
From the 3rd IPCC report, Section 14.2 “The Climate System”, page 774.

But when your theory predicts this much warming and Mother Nature delivers 8X less, then your theory is busted and climate models can’t be trusted.


The authors of the article in Phys Org from which the first quote in bold above was taken don’t see the import of their own admission. Amazing and very Juicy!
