Question:

Do you agree with the growing number of scientist who say there will be no global warming for another 10 years

More and more scientist are saying that so-called "global warming" has stopped, taking a pause. Some scientist say that "global warming" won't come back till 2015 while others say we won't see warming for another 10 years or longer.

Do you think "global warming" has paused till 2015, or 2020, or longer? Or do you think that "global warming" is over and just won't come back at all?

  1. Global warming never started, actually.  The data telling us otherwise is wrong, and I believe it'll never be an issue on our planet.


  2. More of them are realizing that GW is a hoax.

    My 2 cents.

  3. no, i think it will continue.

  4. I love it when the alarmist/proponents down play natural variability. The IPCC will admit it, but the alarmist/proponent wont. It's what you could call a big (Whoops) factor.

  5. No, there are constant examples of skeptics "crying wolf" about "global cooling", which turns out to be weather:

    "The monthly fluctuations of global or near-global temperature, as well as the trend over recent decades can be seen in Figure 2 for the GISS surface temperature analysis as well as the lower tropospheric data of UAH (University of Alabama at Huntsville)2 and RSS (Remote Sensing Systems).  The reason to show these is to expose the recent nonsense that has appeared in the blogosphere, to the effect that recent cooling has wiped out global warming of the past century, and the Earth may be headed into an ice age. On the contrary, these misleaders have foolishly (or devilishly) fixated on a natural fluctuation that will soon disappear."  (March 2008)

    You know that there are a number of ocean currents that can temporarily affect regional and global temperatuers (ENSO, AO, PDO, AMO, MOC), and that those are weather fluctuations.  You also know that those minor weather fluctuations have done nothing to slow the global warming trend clear for the past 100+ years:

    Why pretend otherwise?

    The scientists at RealClimate have challenged the scientists who issued that study to a bet:

    Their scientific basis for challenging that study is presented here:

    http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/arc...

    "Why did we propose a bet on this forecast? Mainly because we were concerned by the global media coverage which made it appear as if a coming pause in global warming was almost a given fact, rather than an experimental forecast. This could backfire against the whole climate science community if the forecast turns out to be wrong. Even today, the fact that a few scientists predicted a global cooling in the 1970s is still used to undermine the credibility of climate science, even though at the time it was just a small minority of scientists making such claims and they never convinced many of their peers. If different groups of scientists have a public bet running on this, this will signal to the public that this forecast is not a widely supported consensus of the climate science community, in contrast to the IPCC reports (about which we are in complete agreement with Keenlyside and his colleagues). Some media reports even suggested that the IPCC scenarios were now superseded by this "improved" forecast."

    Nice try.

  6. No.  This is one guy's model.  Thousands of scientists and many models disagree.  And, if you read the WHOLE article, even his model predicts warming will resume in 2010, just as fast.

    There's a reason this stuff isn't front page news, and it's not a "liberal media conspiracy".

  7. No, and the number isn't growing.  The article you link is a month old and only interviews the authors of the one study.

    Most climate scientists think they're wrong.

  8. More and more?  This was a study by one group.  

    However, also note the quote in the article re natural variations:

    "We expect man-made global warming to be superimposed on those natural variations; and this kind of research is important to make sure we don't get distracted from the longer term changes that will happen in the climate (as a result of greenhouse gas emissions)."

    Also in the article it states that even if this "stoppage" is true, global warming/climate change will eventually continue.  So no, it isn't over.

  9. No. Seasons change!

    I think the winters are getting colder more snow in the NY area and Canada. Like it ice age dropped down to the US/Canadian border line.
