Global Warming my ass.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently released its âState of the Climate in 2012â report, which states that âworldwide, 2012 was among the 10 warmest years on record.â
But the report âfails to mention [2012] was one of the coolest of the decade, and thus confirms the cooling trend,â according to an analysis by climate blogger Pierre Gosselin.
âTo no oneâs surprise, the report gives the reader the impression that warming is galloping ahead out of control,â writes Gosselin. âBut their data shows just the opposite.â
Although the NOAA report noted that in 2012, âthe Arctic continues to warmâ with âsea ice reaching record lows,â it also stated that the Antarctica sea ice âreached a record high of 7.51 million square milesâ on Sept. 26, 2012.
And the latest figures for this year show that thereâs been a slowdown of melting in the Arctic this summer as well, with temperatures at the North Pole well below normal for this time of year. Meteorologist Joe Bastardi calls it âthe coldest ever recorded.â
The Associated Press had to retract a photo it released on July 27 with the caption, âThe shallow meltwater lake is occurring due to an unusually warm period.â
âIn fact, the water accumulates in this way every summer,â AP admitted in a note to editors, adding that the photo was doubly misleading because âthe camera used by the North Pole Environment Observatory has drifted hundreds of miles from its original position, which was a few dozen miles from the pole.â

NOAA also reported that the âaverage lower strastospheric temperature, about six to ten miles above the Earthâs surface, for 2012 was record or near-record cold, depending on the datasetâ even while the concentrations of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, continued to increase.
"Even with all this data manipulation, the trend is down as shown by this Hadley global plot," writes Joseph D'Aleo, former director of meteorology at The Weather Channel. (See D'Aleo - Real Story About Temps.pdf)
"Last year was the 8th warmest but 7th coldest since 1998. They explain it away with the predominance of La Ninas or a solar blip, but say it was the warmest decade nonetheless, so stop questioning us," he said.
On August 7th, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten quoted Irish solar expert Ian Elliott predicting that lower levels of sunspot activity over the next few years âindicates that we may be on the path to a new little ice age.â
âIf you think scientists just couldnât get any more incompetent, then think again. NOAA scientists even appear to believe that cold events are now signs of warming,â Gosselin points out.
âWhen one carefully reads the report, we find that the NOAA findings actually do confirm precisely what the skeptics have been claiming all along:
1. The Earth has stopped warming.
2. The climate models exaggerated future warming [caused by] CO2 climate sensitivity is much lower than we first thought.
âThatâs the real issue at hand,â he added.
