Climate Change Science

[popeyespappy]

There has been, now, a pause in the warming trend since 1997 - 17 years. This is acknowledged by climate scientists - some will say "oh we're cooling now", some will say "oh we're still warming" and others will say "wait and see". But what the majority of catastrophic climate change supports say is: hey it's really not that important, it's just 17 years it's just a "blip", it's so short it doesn't mean anything. Interesting, so they're obsessed about temperatures over a 100 year period - a pretty short time period - but dismiss discerning any information from a 17-year period. Well if that's true, why do we care about the 20-odd years from the 1970's to the 1990's then? Wouldn't that also be too short to discern any long-term climate change information from?

I find it interesting that your chart showing a mean of the major temperature records shows no increase for the period in question yet each of the temperature records shows an increase.
