"In 1999, the feverish rise in Earth's surface temperatures suddenly slowed, even as greenhouse gas emissions escalated. This unexpected slowdown has been called a global warming hiatus or global warming pause. Most climate scientists don't think this hiatus means global warming went kaput, but the reason (or reasons) for the slowdown has scientists flummoxed. Researchers have offered more than two dozen ideas to explain the missing heat."

With others YOU are going to hell if you don't believe.

...or point of no return, then we'll all be fucked regardless of who believed in climate change and who didn't.

That, you are fucking moron. There are many things on this earth and the universe, we know nothing about. Why did earth fart in Suberia? Earth didn't like the way Putin is handling Ukraine? It must be because Obama is not declaring war on Syria, not sending troops to Iraq or is it earth just don't agree with the handling the overall foreign policy.

this is you in the pic isn't it ? That hair definitely has something to do with climate change .

It hasn't gotten warmer. I'm so confused!!!

This minute Islamic terrorists are figuring out how to get to our front doors with a knife while we worry about global warming or climate change or climate disruption or whatever we're supposed to call it this week.

... or they could get off social media, and stop wasting electricity.

but all the scientific data published by liberal media like NY Times tells us we are not warming.

They cant even agree on that BP.

with what you linked. There's nothing there that says global warming is not happening.

But it still leaves the question of "What happens when the earth runs dry of oil?" Are we going to wait until supply and demand has gasoline at $50/gal or more until we look for alternative energy? And wouldn't it be nice to tell the camel jockeys "fuck off and die; we don't need your shit"?

Surely you see a disconnect with what liberals say when they go on cable TV or the Sunday shows and what this piece is saying.  

...are also the most pro-business as well.  It doesn't matter to them whether climate change is real or not, all they care about is the bottom line.  They don't care about the future of their children or grandchildren as long as they keep getting a fat dividend check.

which does not give me a great feeling of "All is well with the world."

at least in the scientific community.

Your first linked article explains that the oceans are acting as a heat sink.  If the oceans increase in temp. it's still global warming even if the surface temps. plateau.

The measurement that is the most important is the amount of greenhouse gases accumulating in the atmosphere particularly CO2. As the amount of greenhouse gases accumulate the amount of heat retained by the earth increases as well. If it is not showing up in the atmosphere then it is going somewhere else. And if the oceans are turning into our heat sink that's very bad news indeed. I'd also rather it'd be the atmosphere instead.

it is our only heat source
maybe its hotter some years and cooler other years

ok so the planet is warming and its because of the USA
india and china and russia building and burning all over the place

Go fuck yourself you nit wit shit head mother fucker.

which takes 100’s if not 1000’s of years to end in catastrophe. In the mean time, it exhibits symptoms such as , big holes in Siberia ejecting natural gas, ice sheets in North and South poles receding or falling of into the ocean, ocean temperature warming, rain and wing patterns changing across the world, etc.  

When they said (and say) the science is settled, I knew it wasn't science.

It's a "debt" based economy created by the privately owned Federal Reserve banks. Drowning in debt is the most patriotic thing an individual or business can do under this economic system.

"dumb," but perhaps you can explain how you missed my point!  

It has gone from global warming to climate change. Now there are 'scientists' that are saying it's climate disruption. What's next? Climate evolution?  

There are photos from a NASA satellite that compare the polar ice cap in August, 2012, to the same in August, 2013. The 2013 photo shows the polar ice cap to be one million square miles LARGER than the previous year.

Another NASA photo shows the glaciers on Mount Shasta, CA. to be 30% larger than previously. And the debate is supposed to be settled? I think not.

NASA collection data also admits that 99.96% of CO2 in the atmosphere is from natural causes. Man made CO2 is .04% of the atmosphere. That's a very powerful .04% to be affecting earth's climate.

I've said this many times to many people....follow the money. There are hundreds of billions to be made on global warming hype. Just ask the member countries of the EU. Europeans are being taxed out the ass, with no appreciable results to show for it. Follow the fucking money.

That's why I follow your recommendation: "Follow the money," on both sides of the argument, like the coal and oil interests. I can understand why they spend so much money to refute it, because it's bad publicity, whether its true or not. But, you have some Congressmen in the pockets of those industries who want to reduce any funding for climate research. That looks pretty suspicious to me.
