Global Warming Stopped 16 Years Ago, Reveals Quietly Released Met Office Report.
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.
that article is an obvious piece of sh!t, debunked many times over, and from a trash publication. Please read critically and consider the source. Here's one of the many places you can find a discussion of the many lies perpetrated in the article.

Raise the level of your game. Nothing in the Met Office’s statement or in Nuticelli’s argument effectively refutes Rose’s argument that there has been no increase in the global average surface temperature for the past 16 years.
Use this as an opportunity to communicate honestly with the public about what we know and what we don’t know about climate change. Take a lesson from these other scientists that acknowledge the ‘pause’, mentioned in my previous post Candid comments from global warming scientists
The Met Office now confirms on its climate blog that no significant warming has occurred recently: ‘We agree with Mr Rose that there has only been a very small amount of warming in the 21st Century
Between 1980 and the end of 1996, the planet warmed at a rate close to 0.2 degrees per decade. Since then, says the Met Office, the trend has been a much lower 0.03 degrees per decade.
However, world average temperature measurements are subject to an error of plus or minus 0.1 degrees, while any attempt to calculate a trend for the period 1997-2012 has an in-built statistical error of plus or minus 0.4 degrees. The claim that there has been any statistically significant warming for the past 16 years is therefore unsustainable.
So, no worries, BAU, 1000 ppm here we come!rockdoc123 wrote:Between 1980 and the end of 1996, the planet warmed at a rate close to 0.2 degrees per decade. Since then, says the Met Office, the trend has been a much lower 0.03 degrees per decade.

Now for those who missed that day in statistics class and error of 0.1 degrees alone obliterates a change of 0.03 degrees..it is beyond accuracy.
So, no worries, BAU, 1000 ppm here we come!

In a book written by leading archaeologists Bruce Bradley of the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, and Dennis Stanford of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Bradley and Stanford say they believe some of the earliest humans to inhabit America came from Europe. For more than 400 years, it has been claimed that people first entered America from Asia, via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea. We now know that some people did arrive via this route nearly 15,000 years ago, probably by both land and sea.

Baloney.........
What, pray tell, are you on about; that climate change, the north/west passage was never navigable, or Clovis man is a lot of hooey?by vision-master » Sun Oct 28, 2012 5:51 am
Physical evidence is there, right here in North America. Show me your evidence?

So, Plato was correct?

The previous owners allowed hunters on the property. In 8 years the wildlife population has rebounded, in part because we border a national park and there is a direct corridor of intact habitat allowing these animals to quickly recolonize former habitat.
Nature is incredibly resilient. It doesn't take that many years for wildlife to recolonize former habitat when given a chance. Once the human footprint recedes on the planet the rebound affect will be dramatic, as long as we can hold on to refuge populations.
