Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released... and here is the chart to prove it

•The figures reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012 there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures
•This means that the ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996

The world stopped getting warmer almost 16 years ago, according to new data released last week.

The figures, which have triggered debate among climate scientists, reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures.

This means that the ‘plateau’ or ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years.


The new data, compiled from more than 3,000 measuring points on land and sea, was issued quietly on the internet, without any media fanfare, and, until today, it has not been reported.


This stands in sharp contrast to the release of the previous figures six months ago, which went only to the end of 2010 – a very warm year.


Ending the data then means it is possible to show a slight warming trend since 1997, but 2011 and the first eight months of 2012 were much cooler, and thus this trend is erased.


Some climate scientists, such as Professor Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, last week dismissed the significance of the plateau, saying that 15 or 16 years is too short a period from which to draw conclusions.

Others disagreed. Professor Judith Curry, who is the head of the climate science department at America’s prestigious Georgia Tech university, told The Mail on Sunday that it was clear that the computer models used to predict future warming were ‘deeply flawed’.


Even Prof Jones admitted that he and his colleagues did not understand the impact of ‘natural variability’ – factors such as long-term ocean temperature cycles and changes in the output of the sun. However, he said he was still convinced that the current decade would end up significantly warmer than the previous two.

The regular data collected on global temperature is called Hadcrut 4, as it is jointly issued by the Met Office’s Hadley Centre and Prof Jones’s Climatic Research Unit.

Since 1880, when worldwide industrialisation began to gather pace and reliable statistics were first collected on a global scale, the world has warmed by 0.75 degrees Celsius.


Some scientists have claimed that this rate of warming is set to increase hugely without drastic cuts to carbon-dioxide emissions, predicting a catastrophic increase of up to a further five degrees Celsius by the end of the century.

The new figures were released as the Government made clear that it would ‘bend’ its own carbon-dioxide rules and build new power stations to try to combat the threat of blackouts.

At last week’s Conservative Party Conference, the new Energy Minister, John Hayes, promised that ‘the high-flown theories of bourgeois Left-wing academics will not override the interests of ordinary people who need fuel for heat, light and transport – energy policies, you might say, for the many, not the few’ – a pledge that has triggered fury from green activists, who fear reductions in the huge subsidies given to wind-turbine firms.

1# Warmers, let's say this is true...How much longer before you start becoming skeptical?
2# I'm completely for renewables as I think they're the next logical step in energy tech. It was never about the global warming with me.
-Higher gas mileage=good
-Coal, nuclear, solar, wind, natural gas powered cars=no more middle east

More k00k losing................

These people, to a person, all live in a bubble = no information that tarnishes the established narrative. They'll come in here this morning like slugs to a tin plate full of beer and post up the same old loser links, like "THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT". We've all seen them in here 1,000 times.

I love to bump into these dolts out in the real world, especially when they are part of a group discussing the matter. Invariably, all walk away looking like Binden did the other night in the debate............doing the mental meltdown. My preface, of course, is to say, "Nobody cares".......and then I bring out the howitzers.........and I love publically humiliating these bubble people.


Because winning........is the best feeling in the world.................

LMAO........hey bro......Im no #48 fan but I respect the hell out of that team. Got to meet Johnson ( albeit briefly) in June at Dover. I root for "Smoke" who's having a terrible Chase. I think the business side has distracted his team effort this fall plus I think he jettisoned the best crew chief this side of Knaus.

I guess it is not so strange that the moronic AGW deniers would fall for more distorted pseudo-science and lies from the propagandists working for the fossil fuel industry. David Rose and the Daily Mail are jokes when it comes to journalistic integrity. Cherry-picking, bogus charts and the easily debunked lies only fool the ignorant and the dimwitted who are politically motivated to fall for this junk.

Here's the facts.

An article by David Rose appears today in the Mail on Sunday under the title: 'Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released… and here is the chart to prove it'

It is the second article Mr Rose has written which contains some misleading information, after he wrote an article earlier this year on the same theme – you see our response to that one here.

The below graph which shows years ranked in order of global temperature was not included in the response to Mr Rose, but is useful in this context as it illustrates the point made above that eight of the warmest years on record have occurred in the past decade.

Warp Drive is far more feasible as a future as compared to renewables asshole ( at the expense of fossil fuels)..........which is the only logical argument the k00ks can make that as it relates to man-made global warming. This science argument either way doesnt amount to a pile of dog doo except to pass time on the intanets.

Warp Drive Like That On 'Star Trek' May Be Feasible After All, Physicists Say


Nobody cares about .8 degrees C.

Show us where is is mattering in the real world?????


Give us a reason the denialists say, "So fucking what?" to your post??

Why are you so amazed that yearly highs are "RECENT"? Would you expect the Dow Jones to set records reguarly when it's at a relative high or off the high by 1000 points???

Doesn't mean the market is accelerating upwards tho...

Warmers are attracted to shiny little fact bubbles aren't they?
