Climate is What You Expect Model
Weather is what you get.
The figures reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012 there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures
This means that the ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996
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.

Quote of the Day – Election Issues Edition
From House of Eratosthenes:
Pretty much.
“Unintended Consequences” or “Loophole!”
U.S. Citizen does the math that liberals never do. Excerpt:
The (Affordable Care Act) tax represents a 20% increase in cost to their employer from $7.25 to $8.69 per hour.
Instead of paying the ACA tax, workers’ hours will be reduced.
RTWT. It’s short and to the point.
