Interesting article from the Mail online:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci...tml?ito=feeds-newsxml Does anyone have an alternative view of the data? This looks to be from fairly solid sources. Best regards Roger |

For the Met office response see:
http://metofficenews.wordpress...media-14-october-2012/ The intro reads: It is the second article Mr Rose has written which contains some misleading information, after he wrote an article earlier this year on the same theme - you see our response to that one here. To address some of the points in the article published today: Firstly, the Met Office has not issued a report on this issue. We can only assume the article is referring to the completion of work to update the HadCRUT4 global temperature dataset compiled by ourselves and the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit. We announced that this work was going on in March and it was finished this week. You can see the HadCRUT4 website here. Secondly, Mr Rose says the Met Office made no comment about its decadal climate predictions. This is because he did not ask us to make a comment about them. You can see our full response to all of the questions Mr Rose did ask us below: ------------------------- Andy Millar CEng MIET MCMI http://www.linkedin.com/in/millarandy |

Also Professor Judtih Curry, who is cited by the Mail to support the view global warming has stopped, has blogged here on this article:

Thank you for that link as well.
The met office discussion was quite interesting, especially with the input from the representative of the met office. It seems that the basis of the article that there has been no significant global warming for the last 16 years is technically correct but the interpretation/conclusions may not be. I think that the following comment from Judith Curry sums it up for me 'Climate models are very complex, but they are imperfect and incomplete. In that context the problem is how people interpret the simulations from climate models in view of the uncertainties and imperfections.' The climate has changed, is changing and will continue to change but determining our influence is not easy. This should not however stop us trying to reduce our impact on the planet.
