Paper: ‘Twenty-year hiatus in rising temperatures has climate scientists puzzled’
'The global temperature standstill shows that climate models are diverging from observations,' says David Whitehouse of the Global Warming Policy Foundation. 'If we have not passed it already, we are on the threshold of global observations becoming incompatible with the consensus theory of climate change,' he says. Whitehouse argues that whatever has happened to make temperatures remain constant requires an explanation because the pause in temperature rise has occurred despite a sharp increase in global carbon emissions'
