Where's the global warming?

[30ashopper]

Global greenhouse gas emissions have risen even faster during the past decade than predicted by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other international agencies. According to alarmist groups, this proves global warming is much worse than previously feared. The increase in emissions “should shock even the most jaded negotiators” at international climate talks currently taking place in Bonn, Germany, the UK Guardian reports. But there’s only one problem with this storyline; global temperatures have not increased at all during the past decade.

The evidence is powerful, straightforward, and damning.

The Scientific Method requires testing a proposed scientific hypothesis before accepting it as the truth. When real-world observations contradict the hypothesis, you go back to the drawing board.

Granted, ten years could just be an anomoly in an overal trend, but since the trend between emissions and warming don't match, maybe there is something else at work here. I'm guessing though this won't stop the push for poorly designed solutions like cap-and-trade aimed at fixing poorly understood problems.

You are confusing global warming with climate change but you already know that.
