Temporary blip in rate of climate change

I think the time for ambivalence is long gone ....17+ years of missing global warming has done for that ...we do know that whatever has been happening (if anything) hasn't been caused by man made co2 emissions

According to the Milankovitch Cycles, we are at the end of the present interglacial. Maybe the forces for the next ice age are in a struggle with our agw. I don't have much doubt about which will win!

May I offer other soutions to global warming. Contraception, surgery. although the human race is doing a dreadful job on itself at the moment.
Nature has its own remedies.

Matt Ridley: Whatever Happened To Global Warming?

• Date: 05/09/14
• Matt Ridley, The Wall Street Journal

On Sept. 23 the United Nations will host a party for world leaders in New York to pledge urgent action against climate change. Yet leaders from China, India and Germany have already announced that they won’t attend the summit and others are likely to follow, leaving President Obama looking a bit lonely. Could it be that they no longer regard it as an urgent threat that some time later in this century the air may get a bit warmer?
In effect, this is all that’s left of the global-warming emergency the U.N. declared in its first report on the subject in 1990. The U.N. no longer claims that there will be dangerous or rapid climate change in the next two decades. Last September, between the second and final draft of its fifth assessment report, the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change quietly downgraded the warming it expected in the 30 years following 1995, to about 0.5 degrees Celsius from 0.7 (or, in Fahrenheit, to about 0.9 degrees, from 1.3).

Even that is likely to be too high. The climate-research establishment has finally admitted openly what skeptic scientists have been saying for nearly a decade: Global warming has stopped since shortly before this century began.

First the climate-research establishment denied that a pause existed, noting that if there was a pause, it would invalidate their theories. Now they say there is a pause (or “hiatus”), but that it doesn’t after all invalidate their theories.

Newsnight tonight have a piece on global warming. Only seen the teaser during the intro yet, the Antarctic ice sheet is getting bigger but according to an "expert" this is a sign of global warming!

 

[Kidds]

The land ice in Antarctica is melting, the fresh meltwater sits on top of the saltwater sea and as there is no salt in it freezes easier thus leading to more sea ice.
They said this didn't explain the extent of the fresh sea ice but conceded it wasn't a good thing going on.

expert siphoning off a good chunk of money to spread fear, we have to adapt to global warming, not just put off the inevitable.
