After telling us that science said that pumping CO2 into the atmosphere would directly lead to higher air temperatures, the lack of increased air temperatures for the last 15 years or so is a problem for the global warming side to explain given that CO2 continues to be pumped into the atmosphere.
Naturally, proponents of taxing and governing as if global warming is real and spectacular want to hide the "pause" in warming (I'm used to a hot summer being called "climate" and a cool summer being "weather," but now a decade and a half is "weather"?) or explain it by saying that somehow the ocean is absorbing the heat that their models hitherto said would light up the atmosphere like a hibachi on full throttle.
Perhaps they are right. But this is such a new--and convenient--theory that I'd really like a little more scientific as opposed to political consensus on this explanation.
Personally, I'm waiting for the models to incorporate epicycles. Surely that will reconcile models and observed reality to finally settle the science.
Now go and emit no more.
