Climate Change Did NOT Pause
The great myth of the global warming ‘pause’; While sceptics obsess over a global-warming hiatus, the sea gets steadily hotter
Phillip Williamson, 17 June 2017 (UK Spectator)
“…[Climate change deniers say the world’s media ignored a published finding that] the rise in global surface temperature had stalled…[in favor of attention to research that] questioned the existence of that hiatus…[Climate researchers do not] ignore evidence…[But the research did] not counter the reality of man-made change…[and the hiatus in global air temperatures came] to a blistering halt. The years 2014, 2015 and 2016 were the three hottest years on record — an unprecedented run…
As a land species, it’s hardly surprising that we’re more concerned about what’s going on in the atmosphere than with conditions under the sea — but in the context of global warming that’s a big mistake. Around 93 per cent of the extra heat gained by the Earth over the past 50 years has sunk into the ocean, while 3 per cent has made ice melt, and 3 per cent has warmed the land. Only around 1 per cent has stayed in the atmosphere…[T]he so-called global-warming hiatus is already history.” click here for more
