Five major climate centers around the world agree that average global temperatures have not risen in the past 11 years, according to the BBC. In fact, in eight of those years, global average temperatures dipped a tad.

    • The crucial sentence in this shoddy piece of "journalism": "But one solar scientist Piers Corbyn from Weatheraction, a company specializing in long range weather forecasting, disagrees. "
      ONE "solar scientist". Give me a break BBC. Then you go on to basically fully refute your own headline in the last couple of paragraphs. My dear "skeptics", read at least that part before you comment here.
      Voted down for horribly misleading headline.

      You're right, weathermen and women without a degree are not climate scientists. The people I talked to (and I have had frequent conversations on this subject) had degrees in meteorology and were certified with the AMS.

      As much as it's killing me, I won't go into the conversations for the sake of keeping some bit of objectivity.

      –noun
      1. the science dealing with the atmosphere and its phenomena, including weather and climate.
      2. the atmospheric conditions and weather of an area.

      And surface temperatures also must account for ocean temperatures as well in this equation and other forcings on the planet. And of course by all means don't divulge any other information or who you talked to, since this is all such a secret.

    • None of us "will live long enough to experience climate even if we live all our live(s) in one place". We can experience weather.
      Here in S. W. Pennsylvania we haven't experienced our summer yet this year. We have had a lot of wet dreary days. Moss and mold love it.
      This could be the shifting of the global tilt. I understand as the northern ice cap is decreasing in size the south pole is growing in size.

    • Anyone that's a die-hard enthusiast of global warming should look up decadal oscillation and study it. Actually talk to some meteorologists and not just businessmen and politicians. Be a skeptic!

    • It would be good to have the climate centers listed. It's hard to know whether to take this seriously without knowing the climate center locations and credentials. Anyone know?

    • Global warming will put us into another ice age, not a tropical pradise. As the water levels rise from greenhouse gases they become cooler, decreasing land temperatures and throwing the earth's equilibrium into a helter skelter. Look up the dinosaur's ice age and the reasons behind it if you don't beleive me.

    • I've been saying that for some time now. They sure show us enough footage up in the Artic to the contrary.
      Is it possible that they are playing with #?
