How can the met office tell us, with a straight face, that they dont know why global warming has stalled
Wood for Trees: Interactive Graphs
There have been claims of a flat trend over shorter periods, e.g. the last 16 years, however in a trend analysis the robustness of the trend calculation is dependent on the number of data points and 15-16 years of data is unlikely to achieve the 95% confidence which is the usual threshold for 'statistically significant'. So a common piece of misdirection is to conflate 'a warming trend that does not achieve significance' with 'no significant warming'. Be truly 'sceptical'.
these are the fools who told us that new jersey would be under 15m of water in 2040
When I interviewed James Hansen I asked him to speculate on what the view outside his office window could look like in 40 years with doubled CO2. I'd been trying to think of a way to discuss the greenhouse effect in a way that would make sense to average readers. I wasn't asking for hard scientific studies. It wasn't an academic interview. It was a discussion with a kind and thoughtful man who answered the question

The reason for elevated temps in the USA:
Roy Spencer, Ph. D.
In simple terms if you have thermometer that was surrounded by forest and is now surrounded by air conditioners and houses emitting heat then it will register a higher temperature.
One can notice the effect in Winter that when you stand next to someones open door you may feel warmer.
I´m not sure that I would get unduly hyterical about it, or necesarily believe a rather far fetched theory of "runaway global warming".I'm alright JackComment

That's right, and somehow 11 x 10^23 Joules of heat found their way from those open front doors into the ocean...

Meanwhile, in the real world, the rats are leaving the sinking ship
The NYT has closed down it's environment desk
Al Gore has sold his TV company to the enemy (big oil)
A whistleblower has leaked the draft of the next IPCC report
And Green malthusian hysteria takes knock after knock
