TEMPERATURES GO UP, TEMPERATURES GO DOWN:
Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released... and here is the chart to prove it (DAVID ROSE, 13 October 2012, Daily Mail)
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.
Only the Brights believe that climate should remain absolutely static.
