UK Met Office: [Actually, we knew this was going to happen all along]
Global warming continues to pose a real threat that should not be ignored — a claim reinforced in a new study by scientists reported in a supplement of the August issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. This is despite very small global temperature rises over the last 10 years.
...
Jeff Knight, the article’s lead author, commented: "We found about 1 in every 8 decades has near-zero or negative global temperature trends in simulations which would otherwise warm at expected present-day rates. Given that we have seen fairly consistent global warming since the 1970s, these odds suggest the observed slowdown was due to occur."

Stavros Dimas, the European Union’s environment commissioner, said last Thursday there could be no “blank check” for poorer nations that are demanding hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to help them manage global warming.
...
Environmental groups praised Mr. Dimas for putting money on the table. But they said his offer – amounting to between $3 billion and $22 billion annually by 2020 – fell woefully short
Whose money is Dimas allegedly "putting on the table"? Does he have the authority to guarantee billions of dollars in climate swindle payments to be made 11 years from now?
