...Search all the data for evidence of the accelerated warming projected
by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change, and you come up
empty-handed. Sometimes temps go up, but not always. There’s no constant
warming. Indeed, the data show a significant moderation of the warming
trend. At times it appears to have leveled off or even cooled a bit.
Should
we be surprised? Not really. When you throw in variables such as
measurement errors, as well as El Niño and La Niña, it makes sense that
the average temperature for some years will be higher even if the
overall trend is flat.
“Will the trend stay flat? Probably not,”
Kreutzer writes. “The Earth has been recovering from the Little Ice Age
for a couple of centuries and recovering from a real ice age for
thousands of years. So there is a reasonable chance that we will revert
to an overall warming trend, but there is no guarantee. Who knows? We
might even be headed into another ice age (as was predicted in the 1970s).”
...No data points to catastrophic warming, hysterical predications
aside. And, it should be noted, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change show that there have been no upward trends in hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or droughts.
Small
wonder then, that liberal groups who are vested in global-warming
alarmism often ignore data that contradict their agenda. They tell us
repeatedly that the debate is over, as if there is an expiration date on
free speech. Unfortunately, too many in the media comply. Some outlets,
such as the Los Angeles Times, won’t even accept letters to the editor
that question the gospel of man-made climate change.
