“It has been claimed that the early-2000s global warming slowdown or hiatus, characterized by a reduced rate of global surface warming, has been overstated, lacks sound scientific basis, or is unsupported by observations. The evidence presented here contradicts these claims,” the paper in Nature Climate Change says.
Among the authors of this ground-breaking observation? Yeah, Michael Mann, inventor of the "hockey-stick" that showed everyone we were all gonna die because of "anthropogenic global warming".
As noted here for years, that AGW thing is baloney; we don't control the climate, the sun and the planet control the climate. It's one thing to live with a light "footprint", which is always a good idea. It's quite another to force people to abide by your religious beliefs.
