Oh really….in 2007 its Hadley Centre for climate change research produced a briefing document for the Government claiming its state of the art computer models left no doubt: man made global warning was a very real threat which needed to be urgently addressed by the policy makers.
and why did the Christmas Eve data contradict that? It’s predicting a SLOWING OF THE RATE of warming, not a lack of warming, not a reversal. The decade preceding this one was the warmest on record. 2012 was the 9th warmest year on record by some measures.
The whole thing is immensely complex to model, and there are lots of datasets, and they won’t all match up, and using a single one as the basis of ANYTHING is tabloid dumfeckery, but a shallowing out of a rate of growth in one set of data doesn’t disprove warming, it just indicates an increased amount of uncertainty in where things are predicted to go from here.
