“The Earth’s mean temperature rose sharply during the 1990s. This may have caused us to overestimate climate sensitivity.”
“New research produced by a Norwegian government project, described as “truly sensational” by independent experts, indicates that humanity’s carbon emissions produce far less global warming than had been thought: so much so that there is no danger of producing warming beyond the IPCC upper safe limit of 2°C for many decades.” [The Register]
How settled is the science? Oh, yeah, any day above normal is “warming”, every storm is “change”, but cool days are just weather and the hurricane dearth is just one of those things.
Climatites will have to break out their “correction factors” to debunk this on quickly.
