UN Climate Change Report Ignores 15-Year ‘Pause’ in Warming
An exhaustive United Nations report that claimed with 95% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming left out data that found the planet has stopped warming over the last 15 years, because it did not fit with the climate change agenda it wanted to advance.
The report, produced by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), could not explain “why the planet has largely stopped warming over the past 15 years.” So it just ignored it. According to the climate data from the U.K.’s weather-watching Met Office, “global surface temperatures rose rapidly during the 70s,” but they have “have been relatively flat over the past decade and a half, rising only 0.05 degrees Celsius (0.09 degrees Fahrenheit).”
In September, a draft of the U.N. report simply could not explain why the surface temperatures have not warmed.
“Due to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends,” the report now reads. “There may also be … an overestimate of the response to increasing greenhouse gas and other anthropogenic forcing.”
Judith Curry, professor and chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said if the “if the pause continues beyond 15 years (well it already has), they are toast.”

Reread the results. You skimmed the results of research by scientists and twisted the results. One thousand scientists from around the world collaberate on a project and some no name science teacher tries to reinterpret the results. Maybe she is just mad that she was not asked to be a part of the research. Sour grapes.
The 15 year “pause” was accounted for in the research and there is still 95% confidence in the results that humans are to blame. Can’t wait for the Georgia Institute of Technology research to be completed.
#1, where were you (and industrialized humans, for that matter) when a huge glacier receded 12,000 years ago and New Jersey became inhabitable land?
#2, have you read the IPCC or followed along on this thread? Try to keep up.
so the dinosaurs died of because of “man made ” climate change?
I thought we were supposed to be dead already? When I was a kid they said that man was causing the earth to cool and that we would freeze to death if we didn’t do something! WE DON’T TRUST YOU ANYMORE!!!
We are causing global cooling (1970s).
We are causing global warming (1990s).
We are causing climate change (today).
Wait, doesn’t the climate always change? I guess you finally found one that you can claim supports your position no matter what happens — took you long enough.

“Sympathetic Zoning – Planning professionals who have been consulted, have warned that if Valley is given leeway to develop to these standards in the H-zone, they will form a new standard of what’s acceptable in Ridgewood, and could undermine efforts to contain large developments in other zones of the Village.”
Just in case there are those of you who think this couldn’t possibly impact where they live within our town.
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN! THE GREAT CLIMATE OZ HAS SPOKEN! MAN IS CAUSING CLIMATE CHANGE AND I COMMAND YOU TO BELIEVE ME!
