Humor: U.N. Climate delegates unaware of 'the pause' in global warming

Craig Rucker of CFACT writes:

You’d be surprised at what they don’t know at the UN climate conference in Bonn.

Then again, maybe you wouldn’t.

Although the evidence keeps mounting up, most of the delegates in Bonn are unaware that there had been no warming for 16 years.

Watch CFACT’s latest video update from Bonn and see for yourself.

CFACT’s Mission Bonn is your eyes, ears and voice at the UN climate talks and at the ICLEI forum.

  • ICLEI wants to bring UN Agenda 21 to your town. 
  • The UN wants a binding climate treaty signed in Paris by 2015. 
  • The Obama administration has vowed to put the brakes on the U.S. economy in the name of climate with, or without, Congress.

We have much more to report on these crucial developments and the threat they pose to the United States and the free world.

If there’s been no warming over the last 16 years, why were global average surface temperatures higher in the last decade than in the decade before? Why has ocean heat content continued to increase over the last 16 years?

Hmmm … why were global average surface temperatures higher in the last decade is a good question. It does assume, however, they were higher. Is that actually correct, or a result of adjustments and the like? What is your basis for making this claim?
BTW, how was “ocean heat content” measured to have increased?

Jim;
You mean the guy who gathered congratulations from Americans on Canada’s completion of the Parliamentary Igloo? That Rick Mercer?

“Wouldn’t claiming only no warming for 12 years make the point just as well without looking wrong.”

The way I put it is that there temperatures have been flat for the last 10 years and there’s been no statistically significant warming for 16 (which is what Phil Jones said).

Because the decade before goes back 20 years, when there WAS warming.

Why has ocean heat content continued to increase over the last 16 years?

Here’s the answer, from another thread:

jai Mitchell – Go to the Reference Pages, click and scroll down to Ocean, click and scroll down to Ocean Page. Study the very first chart which demonstrates that the surface temperature has flattened and declined since about 2002. Please explain how heat entered the ocean without raising the surface temperature. Also please explain how the surface temperature decreased if heat was entering. Also please explain what physical mechanism happened in 1997 to allow heat to start entering the ocean without warming the atmosphere and continue to current day.

The only mechanism that bypasses the atmosphere and warms the ocean is shortwave radiation from the sun.
