You want data? Here's some data:
The new Pause has lengthened by another month. On the UAH satellite monthly global mean lower-troposphere temperature dataset, seven and a half years have passed since there was any trend in global warming at all. As always, if anyone has seen this surely not uninteresting fact mentioned in the Marxstream news media, let us know in comments. One of the best-kept secrets in what passes for “journalism” these days is that global temperature has not been rising steadily (or, since October 2014, at all). It has been rising in occasional spurts in response to natural events such as the great Pacific shift of 1976 and the subsequent strong el Niño events, rather than at the somewhat steadier rate that one might expect if our continuing – and continuous – sins of emission were the primary culprit.
None here in the Cascades, that's for sure. The eco-crats also insist there's a drought when there's been nothing BUT increases in rain. As long as the planet spins and there's a Pacific Ocean, at least this corner of the Left Coast can be nothing BUT pretty much as-is. The fearmongers point to models, have no interest in reality. Weather - Mother Nature - is wild-ride enough. Seems 'a control thing' (Cargo Cult).
