THE UN’s climate change chief, Rajendra Pachauri, has acknowledged a 17-year pause in global temperature rises, confirmed recently by Britain’s Met Office
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Oh oh . . . . be really, really careful today. Herds of flying pigs can drop a lotta crap.
And the Warmonger piggies are flying today.
RE: “but said it would need to last 30 to 40 years at least”
Using the method of Appell et al…
Who you gonna believe, a non-peer reviewed railroad engineer like Pachauri, or premier peer reviewed climatologist Ben Santer who stated that 17 years is enough to separate signal from noise?
“Our results show that temperature records of at least 17 years in length are required for identifying human effects on global-mean tropospheric temperature.”

Warmist are never held accountable for what they say…….because they are trying so hard to save the planet!
If you read his newest paper, co-authored with 20+ researchers, he admits the models have already failed. The only place that is consistent with model projections on the planet is the Arctic.

Thanks Will for always seeking and sharing the newest information
And as we see from their pdf, the vertical volume transformations in density, pressures, velocities and temperature are not well understood.
In other words, the “working hypothesis” is in need of more funding to improve the understanding.
I have the feeling that he is looking for a way out, now that even the people surrounding him, see the coming period of cooling- which any Rational person already knows about.
He is not looking for a way out. There is no way out for him. He is trying buy more time by bullshitting.
Pretty much excludes mainstream climate science at the 95% confidence level.
You obviously missed this bit:
Dr Pachauri said the record accumulation of Arctic ice this northern summer – following a record melt last winter – was consistent with the current understanding of climate change.
No wonder the IPCC gets so much wrong.
What he said is more or less correct. But the problem is that while what’s happening in the Arctic is approximately “consistent with” the GCM’s, the GCM’s are not “consistent with” what’s been happening everywhere else on the planet.
Every idiot knows that no temperature change can be entirely consistent with exploitation of the planet by greedy white capitalist pigs.
I must be missing something, shouldn’t that be accumulation this northern WINTER and record melt last SUMMER?
“Rational” infers a logical thought process and an ability to discern the difference between illusion/falsehood and truth. The world (and the IPCC) is severly lacking rational people. Most are too busy watching TV or facebooking.
Correct.
Anything but thinking.
This alone should kill the whole CAGW scam.
Movements don’t die, they fade gradually…
Yhis movement will not fade. There is a reason they went from CAGW, to climate change and now to “extreme events” which like the warming, and like the predicted SL rise, are also non existent as far as any trend. But extreme events provide plenty of ink to be exploited every time it occurs. Look at the Obama admin, now going full boar into climate change.
Let’s put it this way. The David Appell’s of this world won’t change their minds and they are not going anywhere; only more and more people will ignore them over time.
(The only point about Obama is that the US government is desperate to increase tax revenues because the US is technically bankrupt. A broad based consumption tax that doesn’t alienate the democratic voting base is really too good an opportunity to pass over for him.)
The twisted bastard only needs another 13 or 14 years till retirement…

Australian ABC Interview with Mr Rajendra Pachauri.
He still reckons the Himalayan glaciers are melting at astonishing rates. WTF??!!
He received a large grant to “further research” the problem. It would be difficult for him to admit he was wrong and there isn’t a problem. He’d be under some pressure to give the money back I suppose.
The rate is truly astonishing. It’s low and at times unaccountably negative.
Now if only they had more money to research …
Well let’s not let the fact that the “consensus of Scientists” have been wrong with all their dire predictions for 20 years. Miami would be underwater, Coral reefs would die, Britain was to be snow free, you could paddle your kayak through the NW passage, Polar bears would be on the verge of extinction, and on and on. When are some of you gullible environmentalists going to wake up to the fact that this whole “GLOBAL WARMING” movement has been a huge scam to gain more control over everyone’s lives. CO2 comprises a tiny fraction of 1% of our atmosphere and is invisible, it doesn’t block transmission of visible or infrared radiation. In fact, the slight rise in CO2 increases the growth rate of trees and plants. That’s a good thing.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is sponsored by the UN which is dominated by third world countries which have used scheme after scheme to try to get the US to pay for everything under the sun. Most recently they wanted to gain control of the world’s guns including the those in the US.
