Meteorologists puzzled by snowball in Hell [Mark Steyn]
A headline from the BBC:
Global Temperatures "To Decrease"
Presumably it's in scare quotes because otherwise people might grow less scared. On the story goes:
Global temperatures will drop slightly this year as a result of the cooling effect of the La Nina current in the Pacific, UN meteorologists have said...
This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.
Fortunately the insurance industry is still on board:
Climate change tops list of risks to insurers
I like this addendum to the report:
The analysts identified five additional emerging risks (not part of the Top 10) that have the potential to become as significant during the next five years. These include: over reliance on model-based risk management.
