UK Government Report: Global Warming Stopped 16 Years Ago… | Weasel Zippers

Still not going to stop the MSM from obsessively hyping it.


Via Daily Mail:
The world stopped getting warmer almost 16 years ago, according to new data released last week.

The figures, which have triggered debate among climate scientists, reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures.

This means that the ‘plateau’ or ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years.

The new data, compiled from more than 3,000 measuring points on land and sea, was issued quietly on the internet, without any media fanfare, and, until today, it has not been reported.

This stands in sharp contrast to the release of the previous figures six months ago, which went only to the end of 2010 – a very warm year.

Ending the data then means it is possible to show a slight warming trend since 1997, but 2011 and the first eight months of 2012 were much cooler, and thus this trend is erased.

Yeah, a cherry picked start date certainly is telling...

The trend leading up to Rose's cherry picked interval:


And extrapolating the trend up to the end of Rose's interval:

Hmm, imagine that. At the end of the time series the value lands almost precisely on the extrapolated trend line.

And that's without even getting into finer points about the variability...you know +/- where we would expect the values to be between, above and below the trend line.

More fail from the science illiterate. No evidence at all that global warming stopped in September of 1997... Just more cherry picking of intervals.
