- WARMING INTERRUPTUS: CAUSES FOR THE PAUSE – ‘There are clearly more putative causes than can possibly be the case’
'What is the reason for the lack of warming observed at the surface of the Earth since about 1997? Many causes have been proposed, and with increasing frequency, but most only represent partial explanations.' 'The ocean heat content is not behaving as some expected. (The past 10 years the oceans) shows no warming in upper most layers. If the heat is there, it must be deeper, far harder to detect. And possibly locked away for thousands of years.'
- Geologist Dr. Don Easterbrook: Cause of ‘the pause’ in global warming
Easterbrook: 'It really isn’t a mystery at all, it was predicted in 1999 on the basis of consistent, recurring patterns of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and global climate.'
- The journal Nature embraces ‘the pause’ and ocean cycles as the cause, Trenberth still betting his heat will show up
'It seems even Dr. Kevin Trenberth is now admitting to the cyclic influences of the AMO and PDO on global climate'
- Climate Depot Analysis: ‘There have been at least 10 separate explanations for the standstill in global warming’ – 1) Low Solar Activity; 2) Oceans Ate Warming; 3) Chinese Coal Use; 4) Montreal Protocol; 5) Readjusted past temps to claim ‘pause’ never existed 6) Volcanoes 7) Decline in Water Vapor 8) Pacific trade winds 9) ‘Coincidence’ 10) ‘Stadium Waves’
- Yet Another Explanation! New study claims low solar activity caused “the pause” in global temperature – but AGW will return! Published in journal Atmospheric and Climate Sciences
Study's conclusion: 'The decaying solar activity makes the recently recorded global temperatures flatten out and thus disguises the real climate development. With a steady level of cycle-average solar activity the global temperatures would have shown a steady rise from 1980 to present (2013) in agreement with the increasing atmospheric concentrations of green-house gasses, primarily carbon dioxide and methane [16], and not the levelling-off actually observed since 2001.'
Meteorologist Anthony Watts comment: Despite the fact that 'there are numerous claims that solar activity (and the slight increase in TSI seen in the last 30 years) can’t explain the global warming we’ve seen, but yet somehow the recent period of low solar activity can explain the pause'

Climate Depot Reaction: With the latest study now placing blame on Sun for the 'pause' in global temperatures, that means there has been at least five separate explanations for the standstill in global warming. There is seemingly no end to warmists' attempts to explain the global warming standstill. Let's review:
2) THE OCEANS ATE OUR GLOBAL WARMING! NEW PAPER BY KEVIN TRENBERTH: GLOBAL WARMING ‘PAUSE’ DUE TO PACIFIC OCEAN CYCLE (more here:
3) Chinese coal caused the 'pause', published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Science. The study blamed Chinese coal use for the lack of global warming. Global warming proponents essentially claimed that coal use is saving us from dangerous global warming
4) The Montreal Protocol caused the 'pause', which reduced CFC’s – but warming will return soon
5) The 'pause' never existed and presto, warmists readjusted Arctic temperatures to alter past global temperatures. See: Say What?! After years trying to ‘explain away’ the flatline/pause/standstill’ in global temperatures, warmists now readjust past temps to claim ‘pause’ never existed! - See: Presto! There was no global temperature standstill! Warmists rewrite temperature data to claim: ‘Global Warming Since 1997 Underestimated by Half’ (also see: Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry on the Cowtan & Way ‘pausebuster’: ‘Is there anything useful [in it]?’)
- The Oceans Ate Our Global Warming — But We Have No Way To Prove It! Warmist Prof. Ted Shepherd: ‘It appears warming has gone into deep ocean; unfortunately we don’t have instruments to find it’
'The heat is still coming in, but it appears to have gone into the deep ocean and, frustratingly, we do not have the instruments to measure there,' said Professor Ted Shepherd of Reading University. 'Global warming has certainly not gone away.'
- New paper finds current climate models are ‘unable to reproduce present or future climate accurately’: Study published in Nature finds “a new player on the scene” called “internal lee waves” are “a player in ocean dynamics that may make an important contribution to deep-ocean mixing…Climate models that do not represent this mixing appropriately will be unable to reproduce present or future climate accurately’

2016 study by 32 authors from 24 institutions in 8 countries found a 14% increase in green vegetation over 30 years – 70% of this increase to the extra CO2 in the atmosphere

Al Gore’s Climate TRACE finds vast undercounts of CO2 emissions by industry – Gore’s CO2 tracing seeks to make ‘more enforceable climate agreements’ by giving the ‘UN actionable intelligence to track & crack down on polluters’
Climate TRACE utilizes satellite data, machine learning and artificial intelligence to determine greenhouse gas emissions globally. It aims usher in an era of "radical transparency" and a more enforceable climate agreement by giving nonprofits, governments and the UN actionable intelligence to track and crack down on polluters.

Scientists Find ‘Surprising’ And ‘Statistically Significant’ Cooling Trend Over Entire Continental Antarctica over past 40 years
East Antarctica, which covers two thirds of the South Pole, has cooled a whopping 2.8°C over the past 4 decades; West Antarctica approximately 1.6″C. ..only tiny Antarctic Peninsula saw statistically insignificant warming.

The Media Is Lying About Greenland and Climate Change – It has in fact rained on Greenland before
Last week, media outlets across the globe claimed that there has been rain for the first time at the Greenland summit. “Rain fell at the normally snowy summit of Greenland for the first time on record,” read CNN’s headlines. Others went a step further and declared it a sign of climate doomsday. “Rain On Greenland Ice Sheet, Possibly A First, Signals Climate Change Risk,” read another headline. Unfortunately, for the mainstream media, climate history nearly always comes back to haunt their claims of unprecedented events. Records reveal that this is not the first rainfall in Greenland, and certainly not the first on the Greenland summit peak, which stands at around 10,000 feet.
