Global Warming Continues To Lose Cred

A week ago, our National Climate Data Center in conjunction with NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies announced that world temperatures in 2011 were again cool. This time blaming El Nina. In fact, 2011 was the second coolest year since 2000 (Click here to See Story: La Nina cooled the globe in 2011). In actuality, world temperatures, using applied linear regression, have remained nearly flat for the last 16 years.

What's interesting about this story is the fact that it comes just two months after the U.S. Department of Energy announced that greenhouse gases had jumped by the greatest amount ever in 2011 (Click here to See Story: Biggest jump ever seen in global warming gases).

So, let's see. There continues to be massive increases in the amounts of atmospheric CO2 due to human activity. Yet, somehow, world temperatures aren't really rising. It just seems to me that the supposed "settled science" of global warming is losing a lot of credibility. Mother Nature must be laughing her ass off!
