Flannery highlighted that a great wealth of material about the warming of climate change and climate science are available to anyone curious enough about these topics. On the other hand, there is misleading blogs by skeptics have also proliferated, though an increasingly sophisticated public is less easily deceived by them. Indeed, I made a search to find those skeptics deceived others. It was hailed as the scientific study that ended the global warming debate once and for all – the research that proved you should not be a skeptic, at least not any longer’. Professor Richard Muller, of Berkeley University in California, and his colleagues from the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperatures project team (BEST) claimed to have shown that the planet has warmed by almost a degree centigrade since 1950 and is warming continually.
This graph shows that the trend of the last decade is absolutely flat, with no increase at all – though the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have carried on rising relentlessly. ‘This is nowhere near what the climate models were predicting,’ Prof Curry said. ‘Whatever it is that’s going on here, it doesn’t look like it’s being dominated by CO2.
