POPSMuller is hiding the decline a report to be published today by the Global Warming Policy Foundation includes a graph of world average temperatures over the past ten years, drawn from the BEST project’s data and revealed on its website. This graph shows that the trend of the last decade is absolutely flat, with no increase at all – though the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have carried on rising relentlessly. ‘This is nowhere near what the climate models were predicting To say this is the end of scepticism is misleading, as is the statement that warming hasn’t paused. It is also misleading to say, as he has, that the issue of heat islands has been settled.’

POPSIs There A Sampling Bias In The BEST Analysis This derived surface temperature trends is higher than what BEST found. However, this also means that the divergence between the surface temperature trends and the lower tropopsheric temperature trends that we found in {An alternative explanation for differential temperature trends at the surface and in the lower troposphere} is even higher. This difference suggests that unresolved issues, including a likely systematic warm bias, remains in the analysis of long term surface temperature trends.

POPSOn the findings of the Berkeley Climate Project And finally, we have non-thermometer temperature data from so-called ?proxies?: tree rings, ice cores, ocean sediments, stalagmites. They don?t show any global warming since 1940! (Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature) results in no way confirm the scientifically discredited Hockeystick graph, which had been so eagerly adopted by climate alarmists. In fact, the Hockeystick authors never published their post-1978 temperatures in their 1998 paper in Nature ? or since. The reason for hiding them? It?s likely that those proxy data show no warming either. Why don?t you ask them? One last word: You evidently haven?t read the four scientific BEST papers, submitted for peer review. There, the Berkeley scientists disclaim knowing the cause of the temperature increase reported by their project. They conclude, however: ?The human component of global warming may be somewhat overestimated.? I commend them for their honesty and skepticism.
