The reality is way different than the models and the two are diverging. Hell the Met Office just decided that, after denying that there was a pause in the rise of temperatures two years ago, there actually is a pause and it began in 2000.

The reason it is interesting is that the climate doomsayers are running around looking for the missing heat. And that heat, according to the doomsayers, lies everywhere thermometers aren’t. Which is rather handy for those who made a prediction that isn’t coming true. They can say it is still warming without providing any evidence. > > … Sure they can, just like they can say climategate means nothing, there was zero evidence of any wrong, all the emails show nothing is wrong at all. They handwave it away, and then get mad when you laugh at them. because it doesn’t get much more like denial than to simply deny everything you don’t like. Grow up and realize that if you are playing, you are going to take some hits. Quit crying about it. And follow the goddamn rules. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/itt-fxmastermind-presents-his-evidence-that-climategate-was-scientifically-meaningful/679981)._
