31. This is the sort of vile propaganda that prevents us from saving ourselves.

The article (BP press release?) says, "major climate research centres now accept that there has been a “pause” in global warming since 1997." But it does not name these "centres." It only names two climate change deniers. Anatasios Tsonis and Judith Curry do not represent "scientists," nor is this what the mainstream scientific community "claims."

There has been no "pause" in warming since 1997. The fact is, seven of the top 10 warmest years on record for the contiguous 48 states have occurred since 1998, and 2012 was the warmest year on record. http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science/indicators/weather-climate/temperature.html

Madville, why did you post this?
