WattsUpWithThat<\/a> posted an article today about temperature records set during the past two years. The records were not what was expected.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

NASA data show that global temperatures\u00a0dropped<\/em>\u00a0sharply over the past two years. Not that you\u2019d know it, since that wasn\u2019t deemed news. Does that make NASA a global warming denier?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

Writing in Real Clear Markets<\/a>, Aaron Brown looked at the official NASA global temperature data and noticed something surprising. From February 2016 to February 2018, \u201cglobal average temperatures dropped by 0.56 degrees Celsius.\u201d That, he notes, is the biggest two-year drop in the past century.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The article also includes some other climate news that the major media seemed to overlook:<\/p>\n

There was the study published in the American Meteorological Society\u2019s Journal of Climate showing that climate models\u00a0exaggerate global warming from CO2 emissions by as much as 45%<\/a>. It was ignored.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then there was the study\u00a0in the journal Nature Geoscience<\/a>\u00a0that found that climate models were faulty, and that, as one of the authors put it, \u201cWe haven\u2019t seen that rapid acceleration in warming after 2000 that we see in the models.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nor did the press see fit to report on findings from the\u00a0University of Alabama-Huntsville<\/a> showing that the Earth\u2019s atmosphere appears to be less sensitive to changing CO2 levels than previously assumed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How about the fact that the U.S. has cut CO2 emissions over the past 13 years\u00a0faster than any other industrialized nation<\/a>? Or that\u00a0polar bear populations are increasing<\/a>? Or that we\u00a0haven\u2019t seen any increase in violent weather<\/a>\u00a0in decades?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not to say that we shouldn’t do what we can to limit air pollution, protect clean water, and keep our planet clean. We need to do that because we are responsible human beings. However, we don’t have to run around with our hair on fire about something we can’t change.<\/p>\n
