Thread: No Global Warming for 18 Years and 7 Months

The least-squares linear-regression trend on the RSS satellite monthly global mean surface temperature anomaly dataset shows no global warming for 18 years 7 months since January 1997.





...the "Pause"...is far less important than the growing divergence between the predictions of the general-circulation models and observed reality.




Predicted temperature change, January 2005 to July 2015, at a rate equivalent to 1.7 [1.0, 2.3] Cº/century (orange zone with thick red best-estimate trend line), compared with the near-zero observed anomalies (dark blue) and real-world trend (bright blue), taken as the mean of the RSS and UAH v. 5.6 satellite lower-troposphere temperature anomalies.



The divergence between the models’ predictions in 1990 and 2005 on the one hand, and the observed outturn, on the other, continues to widen.
