Global Warming Slowed Down While CO2 Emissions Rose - What's The Rumpus?

By Hank Campbell

While the United States is now back at early 1990s levels of CO2 emissions, thanks to a switch to natural gas in the energy sector and a moribund economy, that doesn't apply to Asia. The middle class in China alone has a population that exceeds the entire USA and they all want, and are getting, cars and air conditioners and a better life and the emissions to go along with it. Globally, greenhouse gas emissions have continued to rise but warming, the telltale sign of climate change, has not.

Since 2000, global warming has tapered off and virtually no one in the climate science community predicted that could happen.

Last year was the hottest on record. The oceans are absorbing massive amounts of excess heat. But fools like Hank take their dirty oil money and carry on. Doesn't he look serious?
