Climate myths: Global warming stopped in 1998
Hmmm
| Quote From Source: |
Since 1999 ... the heat content of the oceans has steadily increased again (despite claims to the contrary). Global warming has certainly not stopped, even if average surface temperatures really have fallen slightly as the Hadley figures suggest.
In the long term, some of the heat being soaked up by the oceans will inevitably spill back into the atmosphere, raising surface temperatures. Warmer oceans also mean rising sea levels, due to both thermal expansion and the melting of the floating ice shelves that slow down glaciers sliding off land into the sea. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which rests on the seabed rather than on land, is also highly vulnerable to rising sea temperatures.
Some climate scientists are predicting that surface temperatures will remain static or even fall slightly over the next few years, before warming resumes. Their predictions are based largely on the idea that changes in long-term fluctuation in ocean surface temperatures known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation will bring cooler sea surface temperatures.

Wow that is pretty pathetic if you ask me. So they are admitting they will call it warming even if it is cooling. Amazing. And they wonder why so many people think they are full of crap.

This statement requires proof. Certainly more than:

|
The hyperlink allegedly supporting that claim is busted. No evidence detected.... |

NOAA usually gets it wrong. Whatever they predict we get the opposite.
