NO GLOBAL WARMING FOR 17 YEARS, 11 MONTHS: Crazed Sex Poodle* Hardest Hit

 

So reports Christopher Monckton:

The Great Pause has now persisted for 17 years 11 months. Indeed, to three decimal places on a per-decade basis, there has been no global warming for 18 full years. Professor Ross McKitrick, however, has upped the ante with a new statistical paper to say there has been no global warming for 19 years.

Whichever value one adopts, it is becoming harder and harder to maintain that we face a “climate crisis” caused by our past and present sins of emission…

…This is the longest continuous period without any warming in the global instrumental temperature record since the satellites first watched in 1979. It has endured for half the satellite temperature record. Yet the Great Pause coincides with a continuing, rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration.

The RSS satellite records shows no global warming at all for the 215 months from October 1996 to August 2014. That is more than half the entire 428-month satellite record.

* The term “crazed sex poodle” was first used to describe Al Gore by a Denver masseuse who alleged the infamous climate grifter had “fondled and groped her”.
