While the hockey stick exponential curve may have blips for average temperature, the graphs for numerous resources being consumed at an alarming accelerating rate continue to approach finite limits of supply, despite your mockery of ‘peak everything’ in the previous blog entry.<br /><br />A Pause, Not an End, to Warming<br />By RICHARD A. MULLER<br />Published: September 25, 2013 <br /><br />“Berkeley Earth, a team of scientists I helped establish, found that the average land temperature had risen 1.5 degrees Celsius over the past 250 years. Solar variability didn’t match the pattern; greenhouse gases did”.<br /> <br />You seem to build a conspiracy theory on the part of the IPCC. This resembles the accusations against so-called ‘climate deniers’ who are portrayed as in the pockets of the corporate-political-military nexus that seeks to give free rein to free-market believers and free pollution rights (excluding externalities from economic calculations).oldroydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09053801558450807408noreply@blogger.com
