The Climate Cult is obsessed with blaming CO2 for warming the globe but won’t call it global warming. It is climate change. And yes, the climate changes. You can see it in the UAH global mean temperatures, but what happens when all that “changing” balances out to nothing?

The folks the cult calls climate deniers call this a pause.
Despite the so-called epic summer heatwaves, there has been net zero warming since 2015.
The New Pause, having paused a month ago, has now lengthened again: this time to exactly eight years. As always, the Pause is calculated as the longest period for which the least-squares linear-regression trend up to the most recent month for which the UAH global mean surface temperature anomaly is available is zero.
The alarmists deny the existence of the pause. In their minds, we can concern ourselves with hyperbolic headlines about heat waves and droughts but nothing that balances them, like cooling temps or above-average months of precipitation. You know, the amalgam of weather that defines climate.

New Hampshire, for example, has been getting wetter, but all we hear about in the news is drought or that the rain we get isn’t enough.
And despite similar headlines this year, it looks like we will have above-average precipitation in 2022 but little to no reporting on it, just like the lack of warming, which looks like the beginning of a global decline in temperature since 2016.

This trend is -0.01 Cº, and given its proximity to the start of the current solar minimum, that spells trouble for the Warmists. That might be why they are spending trillions we don’t have on ideas that don’t work to solve a problem that does not exist.
