The United Nations World Meteorological Organization is re****ting that
global temperatures have not risen since 1998. That would be the same
temperatures that models from the U.N.'s Inter-Governmental Panel on
Climate Change said would be scorching the earth into an unlivable
wasteland - except for those coastal areas flooded by seas gorged with
water from melting ice sheets.
Of course the IPCC spins the news.
"You should look at trends over a pretty long period," said WMO
Secretary-General Michel Jarraud, "and the trend of temperature globally
is still very much indicative of warming."
His explanation for the cool spell is the effect of the Pacific Ocean's
La Nina current, "part of what we call 'variability.' "
If that's the case, then why can't the Pacific's El Nino current, which
played a large part in the warm reading for 1998, simply been seen as a
"variability" and not part of a greater warming trend?
Because it doesn't fit the agenda?
