Do you agree with the scientist who are saying global warming could take a pause for the next decade?

Question

Many scientist are now saying that the computer models show that global warming could "pause" for the next 10 years.

Do you agree with them, and why didn't other computer models predict this?

If scientist missed a 10 year pause, is it probable they missed a 25 year pause?

Answer 1

"Pause": implication being, the temperature will neither increase or decrease; it will remain level.

"why didn't other computer models predict this?" Not all computer models are the same.

"is it probable they missed a 25 year pause"

Going back to the established definition--what we've seen the past 25 years isn't a pause; the temperature has increased.

Answer 2

Those global warming computers can say anything they want them to say...  I would bet if they had the right programing language, they could also sit, fetch and play dead too.....

Answer 3

Nope.  The scientists who are predicting a pause in global warming have not been able to accurately hindcast recent global temperatures (unlike other climate models).  Thus like the scientists at RealClimate, I don't think their predictions are correct.
