If the climate cools and Arctic ice expands in conjunction with the solar minimum, how long before NOAA, NASA and the other N agencies stop lying about global warming and the death spiral? Five years? Ten years?
What will it take?

Congressmen/women w/ some cojones, common sense and the ability to make a budget. I’m not expecting this anytime soon.
Steven … how long can all the heat hold it’s breath at the bottom of the ocean? Eventually it will come up and the “mother of all warming” will occur and then the alarmists will have their victory as the seas boil and we all whither and die in the endless droughts / floods of apocalyptic climate change.
Re the original question – two years of serious ice recovery and the alarmist will change the game / move the goal posts in some way that sane folks like us will find beyond belief.
They will not stop lying until it is more lucrative to tell the truth. Maybe not even then.
I just hope that they have not destroyed the original data which they have so greatly “adjusted.”
They will shape shift and pretend they didn’t really make the arguments they made. The Borg cannot admit defeat.
If the planet warms it will be all our fault.
If the planet cools it will be all our fault
If the planet’s climate stay exactly the same, it will be our fault for “wrecking natural variability”.
Rinse and repeat.ad nauseum….
When they are no longer breathing!
Super-glue their lips together. Fingers too (so they can’t type).
Beyond that, I can’t think of anything short of planting them.
It’s a habit they won’t willingly break. They’ve become the holy prophets of doom and they love the attention.
What will it take to make them stop lying?
Another event like one of the violent solar eruptions of the past that:
1. Disrupted telegraph systems around the world on 1 September 1859
2. Bombarded Earth with a high dose of cosmic radiation in about AD 775

“The lie can continue only so long as the people can be protected from the economic, political and military consequences of the lie.”
ABout 2025 or 2030 we may see warming again, so if they can hold out that long, they’ll be in the clear. Right now they focus on changing changie-ness. So, they can point out any weather event or disaster anywhere in the world and use that as a “suggestion” that these things are increasing.
How long did it take to get rid of the idea of peak oil or the population bomb? Oh wait, they still have not given up on those, have they? It looks as though their ability to rationalize what they want to see is unlimited. I only wonder if they will go back into global cooling being due to fossil fuels before they go back to warming? If it cools, they can argue it was a freak sun, and that all that heat hiding in the deep ocean has changed sea currents and caused the polar winds (jet stream) to shift, inducing even more “global weirding”. In short, I am pessimistic that it will ever end, no matter how much evidence. However, most people will just ignore it – so maybe not too much harm will result.
The liars are digging their own political graves.
Opposition is growing and thanks to blogs like this ever more contrary information is leaking out.
At the same time Mother Nature is on our side. The 2012 agricultural output in Alaska was decimated because of the cold. Same happens this year but not limited to Alaska. We now see considerable reductions in agricultural output further south, see US Corm Belt and the summer chill: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/08/13/the-us-corn-belt-and-the-summer-chill/
The Arctic went below normal this summer and temperatures continue to drop. In Northern Europe, Canada and North America early frost is already in the predictions.
There is no better wake up call than cold when the zealots scream warmth.
We had our first chilly morning of the imminent Fall season this morning (about 4 weeks early, I’d guess–it more usually happens around September 10th).
As long as they can profit they will not recant.
