sageantoine - The reader might like to read the latest research published in Britain and reported on in The Independent, The Telegraph and yes ...even the Guardian yesterday. (Nature: GeoScience) That peer reviewed research confirmed that the climate models used to pose the threat of global warming overestimated the pace of warming for the past 20 years or so. In fact it is these same models that some scientists and a great many politicians have used to describe the threat and make policy. This follows a similar finding by Benjamin Santer a  few months ago. Mr. Santer was an early advocate of policy to combat global warming and an adviser to the UN's IPCC. He also stated in a paper (also peer reviewed) published in Nature.com that the models overestimated temperature trends. Many that have pointed out this "pause" have been labelled 'deniers'. This is unfortunate as science is seldom ever settled. Medical researchers have warned about fat in diets for 4 decades ..not anymore.
