many deceptions—too many to deal with here—one is particularly blatant.
For more than a decade, the public has been bombarded by claims that
the planet was not just warming but experiencing “accelerated”,
“unequivocal,” “unprecedented” and “dangerous” warming. Yet the actual
temperature record shows that during the past decade, on average, there
has been little or no warming.
Only recently, faced with a gap
between the climate reality and alarmist theory that was too great to
ignore, has official climate science begun to admit the facts to the
public.
And so, in June, the prestigious journal Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) published a peer-reviewed
article that began: “Data for global surface temperature indicate little
warming between 1998 and 2008. Furthermore, global surface temperature
declines 0.2 °C between 2005 and 2008.”(3) (As we will see below, the
cooling trend has continued past 2008 despite a warm, El Nino-influenced
2010.)
Early in August, a press release from the British
Meteorological Office admitted there had been no warming—the Met
delicately called it “a pause in the warming”—in the upper 700 metres of
the world’s oceans since, get this, 2003.(4) Yet, for the past eight
years, the Met has warned the public about a dangerous heating up of the
oceans. |
