Timely IBD disclosure via earlier news from the UK in IBD article
titled: "Heat Is Gone: Global Warming Game Runs Out Of Steam"


"10/15/2012

Environment: Global warming hasn't been a point of contention in the
presidential campaign. This is as it should be, because it's not a
real issue. Earth's temperature is about the same now was it was in
1997.

In fact, we don't believe it's ever been a real issue. Global warming
has always been an idea, a guess. We've never been satisfied that
man's small contributions to the carbon dioxide level in our
atmosphere were causing the planet to overheat.

The global warming alarmists always liked to point to the "hockey
stick" graph that supposedly showed temperatures flatlining for about
900 years before shooting sharply upward starting around 1900. Now
that chart has been discredited.

With that in mind, we invite the alarmists to take a look at a graph
produced by the Met Office, the official weather forecaster of the
United Kingdom.

It shows that global temperatures have been up and down since 1997 but
are at the same place they were at the beginning of that year.

"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," writes Daily Mail reporter David
Rose.

"Before that," Rose continued, "temperatures had been stable or
declining for about 40 years."

The global temperature data set was compiled by the Met Office and the
University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, the band of
alarmist scientists whose work has been called into question by the
Climate-gate scandal. The data showing no temperature change, Rose
noted, were issued with little fanfare.

The Met Office tried to marginalize Rose's report, saying that
"choosing a starting or end point on short-term scales can be very
misleading."

"Climate change," said the British weathermen, "can only be detected
from multidecadal timescales."

Right. Like that "multidecadal timescale" of 1980-96, a warm period
that allegedly confirmed man-made global warming was indeed happening.

It isn't dead yet, but the global warming game is winding down. Fraud
always has an expiration date."
