"...Som choice quotes from Rose's article:<br /><br />"Some eminent scientists now believe the world is heading for a period of cooling that will not end until the middle of this century – a process that would expose computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic warming as dangerously misleading." (No source is given).<br /><br />"Nonetheless, the belief that summer Arctic ice is about to disappear remains an IPCC tenet, frequently flung in the face of critics who point to the pause.<br />Yet there is mounting evidence that Arctic ice levels are cyclical. Data uncovered by climate historians show that there was a massive melt in the 1920s and 1930s, followed by intense re-freezes that ended only in 1979 – the year the IPCC says that shrinking began."<br />Lars Karlssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158469980966810882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-46028500354162233582013-09-08T16:40:15.522+10:002013-09-08T16:40:15.522+10:00David Rose in that limp organ of ill repute the &#...David Rose in that limp organ of ill repute the 'Daily Mail' (Mail on Sunday), has weighed in with a particularly mendacious piece of disinformation about the miraculous recovery of Arctic sea ice this summer. <br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2415191/Global-cooling-Arctic-ice-caps-grows-60-global-warming-predictions.html<br /><br />I'm sure the Press Complaints Commission will robustly defend his right to print such imaginative drivel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
