There has been no warming dude.
So - we have established that you lied when you wrote that the IPCC Head said there has been no global warming since 1998.
Your link showed Pachauri saying the exact opposite
Pachauri said a stall in average global surface temperature would need to last “30 to 40 years at least” to break the long-term global warming trend.”We have established that you lied when you wrote that Hansen said there has been no global warming since 1998.
Your link referred to a paper showing Hansen saying the exact opposite:
We conclude that background global warming is continuing, consistent with the known planetary energy imbalance, even though it is likely that the slowdown in climate forcing growth rate contributed to the recent apparent standstill in global temperatureYou are still yet to explain to us:
Why have the oceans continued to warm if there has been no warming since the year 1998?
Why has global glacial mass balance continued to decrease if there has been no warming since the year 1998?
Why has the arctic ice cap continued to melt if there has been no warming since the year 1998?
Why has sea level continued to rise if there has been no warming since the year 1998?
All you have show us are some graphs showing a very high average global surface temperature in 1998 (according to one data set - others show 2005 or 2010 to be the warmest year), and every year subsequent to that being warmer than the long term average - more compelling evidence that the planet is clearly and unabiguously warming.
Don't you think it is about time you apologised for telling lies to the forum and stopped mindlessly repeating the silly opinion of a Daily Mail columnist?
