- Delingpole: The Pause in Global Warming Is Real, Admits Climategate Scientist
by JAMES DELINGPOLE, http://www.breitbart.com/
The ‘Pause’ in global warming is real and the computer models predicting dramatically increased temperatures have failed.
–
This is the shocking admission of a paper published this week in Nature Geoscience. It’s shocking because the paper’s lead author is none other than Ben Santer – one of the more vociferous and energetic alarmists exposed in the Climategate emails. According to the paper’s abstract:
–
In the early twenty-first century, satellite-derived tropospheric warming trends were generally smaller than trends estimated from a large multi-model ensemble.
–
And:
–
We conclude that model overestimation of tropospheric warming in the early twenty-first century is partly due to systematic deficiencies in some of the post-2000 external forcings used in the model simulations.

Translation: the real-world temperature increases were much smaller than our spiffy, expensive computer models predicted. Its significance did not pass unnoticed by this veteran climate scientist:
