Global Warming Trend over last 16 Years Greatly Underestimated, according to New Method [View all]

http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/climatechange/global-warming-trend-over-last/23588938

A validated, hybrid method of measuring global temperatures has been developed this year, which fills in the large gaps of missing temperatures by using satellite data.

This new method shows that the Met Office in the UK, which uses the HadCRUT4 data base for global temperatures, greatly underestimated the global warming trend over the past 16 years by as much as two-and-a-half times.


Another nail in the coffin of the much-hyped "pause" in global warming.
