DEBATE HOTS UP OVER UNCOOL MEDIA MUTTERINGS THAT GLOBAL WARMING HAS CEASED
December 27th 2007 21:51
Devout global warming devotees on the blogosphere have cried foul over scientist David Whitehouse’s claim in the New Statesman that warming has stopped globally.
Whitehouse wrote, “Global warming stopped? Surely not. What heresy is this? Haven’t we been told that the science of global warming is settled beyond doubt and all that’s left to the so-called sceptics is the odd errant glacier that refuses to melt?”
Whitehouse had the temerity to report, “With only a few days remaining in 2007, the indications are that global temperature for the year is the same as that for 2006. There has been no warming over the past 12 months.
Whitehouse does add that that something is going on with the world’s weather but we still don’t know exactly what and should find out, rather than blindly assume carbon dioxide induced warming is the culprit.
He wrote, “I have heard it said by scientists, journalists and politicians, that the time for argument is over and that further scientific debate only causes delay in action.
“But the wish to know exactly what is going on is independent of politics and scientists must never bend their desire for knowledge to any political cause, however noble.”
