Something very interesting has happened in the world of doom and gloom and Armageddon prophecy that is the Global Warming industry.
A new peer-reviewed ‘scientific’ paper (“Reconciling anthropogenic climate change with observed temperature 1998 – 2008”, by Kaufmann et al) has been released by some of those behind the original hockey-stick graphs and ‘computer models’ so loved by the Global Warming religion for saying that by now we should be boiling in our own body fat and submerged under the sea which should by now have risen by 3 or 4 kilometres. Sadly for those who want our planet to be on the verge of spontaneous combustion, the paper finally admits that our dear planet has seen no rise in temperature since 1998.
True, the paper is dressed up with a lot of conjecture about why the world has stopped warming, and they are still pretty sure it’s all man’s fault as well, but the facts are the facts and the facts are that global warming stopped in 1998.
Why has it taken 13 years for them to finally admit this out loud? The sceptics and far less funded scientific community of those who don’t ‘believe’ in global warming, preferring to base their conclusions on the actual evidence available, have been saying it stopped warming in 1998 for many years now. Saying such a thing is of course a blasphemy in the eyes of advocates of the global warming religion that children have compulsorily been indoctrinated with at school.
Those who have dared challenge the dogma are immediately made figures of hate and called ‘deniers’ by those who want to believe in man-made global warming rather than the actual facts.
Yet the facts are that it hasn’t gotten any warmer since 1998. Interestingly this coincided with a reduced amount of activity in the last Sunspot cycle, but the authors of the paper refuse to acknowledge any connection, preferring to scrabble around with theories about how man must have somehow stopped emitting so many of those bad gasses or something, rather than lose their funding by simply saying, “It was the Sun what done it”.
With the Sun remaining far less active than we expected, the only logical conclusion in the non-global warming camp is that we are facing a small period of a slow move to a cooling over the next few decades and that this obviously began in 1998. Of course, this theory, which is being studied more thoroughly, won’t suit the highly political meddling organisations like Greenpeace who want to attack capitalism and society so much that they were counting on carbon taxes crippling the modern world. Well, unless they can organise papers that conclude that man’s emission of CO2 is now somehow directly related to global cooling and therefore should still be taxed, they should finally shut-up and stop all their silly gloommongering.
Mind you, with those who are writing unscientific scare documents for Greenpeace also involved in writing the unscientific meanderings of the EU’s IPCC, the body that’s trying to co-ordinate the belief in Man Made Climate Change and the international response, who knows what complete bullshit they’ll come out with next.
England's England 
In a previous life, I made a point of contacting several people who had contributed on camera to Martin Durkin's controversial and fascinating documentary “The Global Warming Swindle”. Far from fuming at having been taken completely out of context (their views, as reported by mainstream media) they stuck to their guns. Sadly, I don't think the rather unbalanced reporting is a conspiracy. It's just the way the world works – an example of what is commonly known as “groupthink”. It's very difficult to disagree with the pack for two reasons:
(1) I'm not a scientist, so my personal view doesn't in itself count for anything.
(2) You can only challenge the “group” (at, say, an editorial meeting) once or twice on this kind of story. Try it in future and they won't even enter into debate. Instead, they collectively shake their heads and dismiss you as someone who should never be put near a story that matters. That has severe implications – it is the modern day “Christmas Tree” on your staff file, but without the need for the rubber stamp.
