Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to
why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10
years. Some attribute the trend to a lack of sunspots, while others
explain it through ocean currents.
At least the weather in Copenhagen is likely to be cooperating. The Danish
Meteorological Institute predicts that temperatures in December, when the
city will host the United Nations Climate Change Conference, will be one
degree above the long-term average.
Otherwise, however, not much is happening with global warming at the
moment. The Earth's average temperatures have stopped climbing since the
beginning of the millennium, and it even looks as though global warming
could come to a standstill this year.
Ironically, climate change appears to have stalled in the run-up to the
upcoming world summit in the Danish capital, where thousands of
politicians, bureaucrats, scientists, business leaders and environmental
activists plan to negotiate a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Billions of euros are at stake in the negotiations.
Yeah the Poles are melting, the Himalayas are drying up and 10 year droughts
are now not only common but spreading and we're wearing shorts and Ts in
SoCal in November. Stalled my ass.
