Hot on the heals of excuse #12, “lousy data“, Warmists trot out excuse #13
(The Hockey Schtick) A paper published today in Environmental Research Letters finds a new excuse [#13 by my count] for the 15+ year ‘pause’ or ‘hiatus’ of global warming:
“a coherent cooling pattern across the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes that has emerged in the recent 15 years and is not reproduced by the models. This regional inconsistency between models and observations might be a key to understanding the recent hiatus in global mean temperature warming.”
Thus, although warm extremes are getting warmer, cold nights in the N Hemisphere are getting colder, not warmer as predicted by global warming theory. How could increased CO2 cause “a coherent cooling pattern across the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes” over the past 15+ years? Inquiring minds want to know; according to the authors,
“precisely identifying the mechanisms behind the observed regional cooling patterns in extreme cold temperatures lies beyond the scope of this paper.”
Well, fortunately, Warmists will surely Blame Mankind for the cold nights getting colder because of “climate change”.
As 97% of Antarticans know, a warming planet causes more snow and it causes colder areas in parts of N. America due to the fact that heat traps cold fronts.
Teach has the UX Navy been continuing to ignore your site?
Any idea why the polar ice cap and glaciers are melting ? Any idea why Anthony Watt was forced to move his oce stories off site ?
And why does the Monckton graph continue to show 2012 as being COLD it was 7th hottest?
have you alerted the Vatican to these factoids? They still think AGW is real
John-any idea why Antarctic sea ice is at record levels? “2012 being the 7th hottest.” John-7th hottest compared to what? Do you have any clue?
