Times are not easy for true-believers just now. The RSS satellite lower-troposphere temperature anomaly for March, just in, shows no global warming at all for 17 years 8 months. This remarkable 212-month period, enduring from August 1996 to March 2014, represents half of the entire 423-month satellite record since it began in January 1979
Figure 1. The remarkable 212-month absence of global warming, notwithstanding a record rate of increase in CO2 concentration. The Pause – the least-squares trend on the data for the past 17 years 8 months – now extends to just over half the entire 423-month Remote Sensing Systems satellite record since January 1979.
Yet we should not crow. A strongish el Niño – we are rather overdue for one – may well shorten the Pause quite a bit, but probably only until the subsequent la Niña a year or two later, whereupon the Pause may resume and perhaps continue embarrassingly to lengthen for a decade and more. Or so my model tells me, and that means it must be right. Right?
To appreciate the sheer magnitude of the credibility problem the modelers and their host of fawning apologists now face, we can look at the crisis faced by the paid propaganda merchants at “Skeptical” “Science”. They are proud of their tacky little alarmo-ticker, which – so they assert – demonstrates how many “Hiroshima bombs” of global-warming energy have been trapped in the atmosphere since – for some reason – 1998.
The full story here and a great read

That sounds interesting.
However, I base my understanding on critically derived conclusions drawn by the best of human understanding.
Would you mind submitting your hypothesis to the peer review process? If it survives, you will have my full attention. If not, it is about as valuable to me as the idea of the moon being made of cheese.

And lo and behold who wrote that article but Popeye himself.Ca ca ca ca.

so why do all manner of weather records get broken ? temperature records in australia paint the opposite picture. in addition warming is just one aspect of climate change. flooding fire and extremes of temperature are still very much evident and increasing in frequency.
explain that,

Thanks for posting that article. I tried to post it earlier.
Of course it will be scoffed at but the facts are indisputable and NOT what the warmists want or can bring themselves to consider.
Lets hope that this will not be infested with over 100 c&p spamming.

the material is old and has been tried and discredited many times. why is it that nay sayers seem more obseessed than the more rational among us ? odd lot.. their fear of being wrong is all consuming and its already come to pass.

Those are the facts but there’s none so blind as those who drank the kool aid

Monckton! Deary me.
If you have more than opinions and theories from a crackpot then the world would love to see it.
Even Fairfax Weatherzone.
Australia's summer finished up hotter and drier than average across all the capitals except Darwin.
From Perth to Hobart to Brisbane, all capital cities and almost everywhere in between experienced below average rainfall in summer. Temperatures also soared across these areas, with the same capitals all seeing above average temperatures.

"But when it comes to climate change, there is no demonstrated causal connection between (A) an extra 1 CO2 molecule per 10,000 molecules of air, and (B) any resulting observed change in weather or climate. There are theories of how the former might impact the latter. But that’s all." Dr Roy Spencer......
If you have more than opinions and theories..... the WORLD.........would love to see it!
