Global warming is not causing temperatures to rise as quickly as previously feared, the Met Office has claimed. Today the weather agency released its revised forecast which was quickly seized upon by climate change skeptics who used the data to claim global warming has stopped.
“Today the weather agency released its revised forecast which was quickly seized upon by climate change skeptics who used the data to claim global warming has stopped.
In turn, the scientific community accused them of ignoring the weight of evidence showing that global warming is a reality, and accused the Met Office of ‘falling short’ of the standards expected of it.”
So “skeptics” can look at the data and see nothing has changed in 16 years.
The “scientific community” looks at the data and says, “Warming is a reality.”
With apologies to Nicolas de Chamfort,
“How many fools does it take to make up a scientific community?”
