Another month’s worth of data is in and still there is no sign of warming in the continental U.S. for the past 14 years. In fact, official government data indicates a COOLING trend of 8.2 deg F/century during this time period. This cooling is in direct contradiction to what the IPCC models were predicting back in 1997. So, while CO2 levels in the atmosphere continue to rise, the climate refuses to play along with the global warming charlatans. Of course, this comes as no surprise to those of us who understand the real relationship between CO2 and climate.
