Since the beginning of the 1970s, the global temperature has risen strongly. However in the last 10-15 years the trend has flattened out considerably. Depending on the year used as a starting point, the trend is practically zero. This is what temperature curves from the different institutes show. Even when there are some slight variations between the curves, they all show the same pattern
The fact that the global temperature rise has stagnated does not contradict long-term climate change. To the contrary: Also in the future we have to anticipate short periods of stagnation or cooling. In principle, the science is not surprised by this finding. This is because such short-term temperature behavior also occurs in climate models (see chart). And that, by the way, in the same models that postulate an anthropogenic temperature increase over the long term.”
You can see this quite clearly in Hansen’s 1988 forecasts which show very rapid, steady warming after the year 2000.

If I didn’t know what is meant, I was say this is gibberish. He means the scientific establishment, the people politicizing science, the Lysenkos.

“Dr. Myneni reckons that it is now possible to distinguish between these two effects in the satellite data, and he concludes that 50% is due to “relaxation of climate constraints,” i.e., warming or rainfall, and roughly 50% is due to carbon dioxide fertilization itself. In practice, the two interact. A series of experiments has found that plants tolerate heat better when CO2 levels are higher.
The inescapable if unfashionable conclusion is that the human use of fossil fuels has been causing the greening of the planet in three separate ways: first, by displacing firewood as a fuel; second, by warming the climate; and third, by raising carbon dioxide levels, which raise plant growth rates.”
Glad to hear that. I could use fast growth from my trees for instant shade!
Undeniable proof that Obama and his Australian girlfriend have made good on their promises to heal the planet. From that, it is obvious that Obama deserves more than 2 terms. The hell with the stupid Constitution!
War is peace
Truth is lies
Love is hate
Cold is Hot
Wet is dry
Oh CO2, you amazing little molecule, is there nothing you can’t do?
“the science is not surprised by this finding” – Is “the science” a person now? Maybe “the science” will be elevated to a deity in the climate religion. The Trinity will be “the science”, “consensus” and Al Gore, the Son of the Science.
