No Global Warming since 1997

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


Prof Jones also admitted that the climate models were imperfect: ‘We don’t fully understand how to input things like changes in the oceans, and because we don’t fully understand it you could say that natural variability is now working to suppress the warming. We don’t know what natural variability is doing.


five years ago he [Prof Jones] seemed to be saying that 15 years without warming would make him ‘worried’, that period has now become 20 years."

Meanwhile, agore's value has increased $100 million the past 10 years kicked off by the infamous movie - "Inconvenient Truth". I wonder if a case can be made on fraud - agore would look good in jailhouse blaze orange.

IPCC/HadCRUT Data Confirms Global Cooling

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

Time to redirect those wasted trillions spent in pursuit of proving AGW and put the money into something worthwhile - such as clean drinking water, food for the hungry and shelter for the those that are cold.

Anti AGW Hits Keep on Coming

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

"GLOBAL warming is likely to be less extreme than claimed, researchers said yesterday."

Professor Terje Berntsen said: “The Earth’s mean temperature rose sharply during the ­Nineties. This may have caused us to overestimate climate sensitivity. We are most likely witnessing natural fluctuations in the climate system – changes that can occur over several decades – and which are coming on top of a long-term warming.” He insisted, though, that his study did not justify “complacency” about human-induced global warming.

Interpretation:More studies needed in order to keep my funding intact.

Mounting evidence that scientists are be forced into realizing that gloabl temps have flat lined the past 16 years, and the temp models need to be revised down..yet..again.

Duh !

2 Guys and a Ruler

Must watch.
Curious on why the graph only goes to 2009.
BO or Whitehouse advisors must not have read in the paper that temperature records are available to 2013.

Science Trumps Consensus

McNider and Christy are part of the 3%. Kudos to them for adhering to scientific principles.

change of subject !!

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

Some questions I recently sent them. I will post reply when received.

Is the Bino-Mate (BM) compatible with these 2 (Meade SN-8 and AR-6) scopes and full range of eyepieces 6.4 - 40 mm Meade Anniversary sets?
What is the clear aperture of the BM?
Is there a need for a barlow or OCA to bring this binoviewer into focus?
Is there a magnification factor with this binoviewer?
Are all surfaces coated or multi-coated or fully multi-coated?
What is the coating on the light splitting prism?
When is the BM shipping?
