Because the warming has ALREADY stalled
Not really.
Global Analysis - Annual 2014 | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)
- The year 2014 was the warmest year across global land and ocean surfaces since records began in 1880. The annually-averaged temperature was 0.69°C (1.24°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F), easily breaking the previous records of 2005 and 2010 by 0.04°C (0.07°F). This also marks the 38th consecutive year (since 1977) that the yearly global temperature was above average. Including 2014, 9 of the 10 warmest years in the 135-year period of record have occurred in the 21st century. 1998 currently ranks as the fourth warmest year on record.
Don't be a denier. .Even the IPCC addresses "the hiatus" in AR5 report. Yearly records don't matter when you are sitting at relative maximum. How many times the Dow break 18000 while sitting in the 17,9XXs ??
What matters is that the actual trend line has gone down to near zero and those records (the ones that were REALLY records and not withdrawn by NOAA after the fact) were records by 0.03degC. In the noise level..
And I'm not doing this AGAIN with you. Will just call you "a denier" and quote the IPCC report.
Of course you don't want to discuss it because the "hiatus" has been debunked, and deniers only have erroneous data to "support" them.
Scientists Cast Doubt On An Apparent 'Hiatus' In Global Warming
The new results,
published in the journal
Science, may dispel the idea that Earth has been in the midst of a "global warming hiatus" — a period over the past 20 years where the planet's temperature appears to have risen very little.
"We think the data no longer supports the notion of having a hiatus," says
Tom Karl, a scientist with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and coauthor of the new study.
Now Karl's team, which is directly responsible for taking the Earth's temperature, says a technological shift in the way the measurements are taken has also obscured the temperature's climb.
Here's why: The single number — average global temperature — comes from tens of thousands of independent temperature readings. And, in recent decades, the technology for getting those readings has gradually shifted.
On land those measurements are made by weather stations; on the sea, the job has generally been done by commercial and military ships for decades. But starting in the 1980s, governments also began dropping buoys into the ocean to do independent measurements.
Karl and his colleagues decided to look at stretches of water where ships pass very near buoys, to compare the two temperatures. And they made a surprising discovery.
"The buoys actually read colder than the ships," Karl says.
Even though the two thermometers were in the same place, they gave different readings. And it was happening all over the world. As more buoys were dropped into the sea — all delivering measurements that were consistently cooler than a ship would show in that same spot — the warming trend in the average global temperature seemed to slow dramatically.
But Karl and his colleagues believe
what looked like a flattening of the warming trend actually just reflected a change in the way the temperature was taken. When the team factored in a correction to the historical data that reconciled the buoys with the ships, they found that what had seemed to be a hiatus in warming disappeared.
Cherry picking?
.........saw all the data rigging going on........saw the peer review process morph into a dictatorial system.....saw the handling of the Climate-gate investigation ( a total farce )......saw statements from climate alarmist bigs like THIS. >>>
