Study released in the journal Nature Climate Change confirms hiatus in global warming

A new study released by Nature.com’s journal, Nature Climate Change confirms what “deniers” have been claiming for the past few years: the warming of the Earth has come to a halt.  The journal “is a monthly journal dedicated to publishing the most significant and cutting-edge research on the science of climate change, its impacts and wider implications for the economy, society and policy”.

(Nature Climate Change) — The inconsistency between observed and simulated global warming is even more striking for temperature trends computed over the past fifteen years (1998–2012). For this period, the observed trend of 0.05 ± 0.08 °C per decade is more than four times smaller than the average simulated trend of 0.21 ± 0.03 °C per decade (Fig. 1b). It is worth noting that the observed trend over this period — not significantly different from zero — suggests a temporary ‘hiatus’ in global warming.

If scientists who believe in AGW admit the warming has stopped then…
