Earth's Temperature Has Failed To Rise Despite SOARING Levels Of CO2 -- Los Angeles Times

October 3, 2013: junk science. CBS News says earth's warming could result in surface temperatures of 212 degrees F (boiling). In fact, we're talking 1 - 2 degrees. At most.

Mainstream media finally gets is and reports it.

Front page story in today's in Los Angeles Times:

It's a climate puzzle that has vexed scientists for more than a decade and added fuel to the arguments of those who insist man-made global warming is a myth.

Since just before the start of the 21st century, the Earth's average global surface temperature has failed to rise despite soaring levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases and years of dire warnings from environmental advocates.

Now, as scientists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change gather in Sweden this week to approve portions of the IPCC's fifth assessment report, they are finding themselves pressured to explain this glaring discrepancy.

The panel, a United Nations creation that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, hopes to brief world leaders on the current state of climate science in a clear, unified voice. However, experts inside and outside the process say members probably will engage in heated debate over the causes and significance of the so-called global warming hiatus.

"It's contentious," said IPCC panelist Shang-Ping Xie, a professor of climate science at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. "The stakes have been raised by various people, especially the skeptics."

The Skeptics?

The "global warmers" are the "new flat earth society."

I'm glad they are calling the hiatus a "so-called" hiatus. LOL.
