What happened to global warming?This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.
But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.
And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.
So what on Earth is going on?
Climate change sceptics, who passionately and consistently argue that man's influence on our climate is overstated, say they saw it coming.
They argue that there are natural cycles, over which we have no control, that dictate how warm the planet is. But what is the evidence for this?
During the last few decades of the 20th century, our planet did warm quickly.
Sceptics argue that the warming we observed was down to the energy from the Sun increasing. After all 98% of the Earth's warmth comes from the Sun.
But research conducted two years ago, and published by the Royal Society, seemed to rule out solar influences.
The scientists' main approach was simple: to look at solar output and cosmic ray intensity over the last 30-40 years, and compare those trends with the graph for global average surface temperature.
And the results were clear. "Warming in the last 20 to 40 years can't have been caused by solar activity," said Dr Piers Forster from Leeds University, a leading contributor to this year's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
But one solar scientist Piers Corbyn from Weatheraction, a company specialising in long range weather forecasting, disagrees.
He claims that solar charged particles impact us far more than is currently accepted, so much so he says that they are almost entirely responsible for what happens to global temperatures.
He is so excited by what he has discovered that he plans to tell the international scientific community at a conference in London at the end of the month.
If proved correct, this could revolutionise the whole subject.
AWESOME! THE TRUTH IS COMING TO LIGHT - AND IN THE NICK OF TIME!
WE REPORTED THIS BEFORE THE BBC HERE, WEDNESDAY.

Remember the lesson of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” The assumption that there is or ever will be man-made climate change (remember the Orwellian global warming) is the big dead elephant in the room. I think all the politicians on the bandwagon need to be replaced by public servants who can objectively evaluate scientific and technical data. The backlash will be swift.
Anonymous,
The problem is, "Being a Leftist means never having to say you're sorry."
During my 46 years on Earth, I have been told the world was coming to an end,
1) at the age of 10, by Malthusian Ecologists, who claimed overpopulation was going to force us to eat each other "like rats in a cage."
2) at 12, by Climatologists who claimed we were headed for an Ice Age, which would severely impact our ability to grow food, meaning famine across the globe
3) at 15, by Christians, led by Hal Lindsay, who claimed that the world was coming to an end in 1988, because that was exactly 40 years (one generation) after the birth of Israel
4) at 18, by college Professors who claimed that, without a doubt, we were destined to run out of oil by the late 80's/early 90's
5) at 18-22, by Ecologically-minded college professors who made my stomach turn at the supermarket every time I was asked "Paper or Plastic"? After all, did I want to destroy the Earth's trees, or did I want to clog up the Earth with plastic goods in landfills? Devil or the Deep Blue Sea? Either way, I'm brining on hell, according to my college Professors
6) at 17-25, be Leftist maniacs who claimed Ronald Reagan was hell-bent on starting a nuclear war with the USSR.
etc. etc. etc.
I believed them all.
I believe no one anymore. I see them all as a bunch of placard-carrying idiots: "The End is nigh, Repent!"
Fuck them.
I will never fall for it again.
I can ditto that, Pastorius. Bravo.
Ro
Ro,
Did you grow up believing all that nonsense like I did?
