Global Warming stopped 16 years ago. Do libs feel dumb for once again believing anything govt tells them?

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.

Update:

Klassy-

Peer reviewed from the scientists who all get government money for their findings? Haha.

    I doubt the libs feel dumb. Stupidity doesn't hurt. If it did, the hospitals would expand exponentially, and they would serve pain meds with milk.

    this has made the internet already. it's a total fabrication by David Rose from the Daily Mail, sells newspapers, but it's certainly not science. The Met office responded to it.

    Meanwhile, back in reality NOAA: the globally-averaged temperature for September 2012 tied with 2005 as the warmest September since record keeping began in 1880

    try again.. maybe it's cosmic rays.

    for some years, environmentalism has been the Left's best excuse for increasing government administration over our movements in techniques the two super and small. this is for mom Earth! this is for the youngsters! this is for the whales! yet earlier, the doomsday-situation environmental scares they have trumped up have not been super adequate to furnish the sinister prize they % maximum of all: entire administration of yank politics, financial interest, or perhaps individual habit. With worldwide warming, even even with the undeniable fact that, greenhouse gasbags can argue that vehicle emissions in Ohio threaten people in Paris, and that for the period of basic terms worldwide government can handle such issues. national sovereignty? Democracy? forget approximately it: worldwide warming has now delivered the Left nearer to worldwide government, statism, and the eradication of individual rights than it has ever been till now.

    Ah, the Daily Fail.

    In reality, no that's not true. Here, have a real graph with a running average:http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9LFTVlVyZZ4/SVx0zJX0OTI/...

    That is blatantly false and trivial to show, yet a lot of scientifically illiterate conservatives will believe it anyway...

    I'd like to see evidence from a scientific journal that was peer-reviewed, not a right-wing website please.
