2/21/13, "IPCC Head Pachauri Acknowledges Global Warming Standstill," The Australian, Graham Lloyd
"The UN’s climate change chief, Rajendra Pachauri, has
acknowledged a 17-year pause in global temperature rises, confirmed
recently by Britain’s Met Office, but said it would need to last “30 to
40 years at least” to break the long-term global warming trend.
Dr Pachauri, the chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change, said that open discussion about controversial science
and politically incorrect views was an essential part of tackling
climate change.
In a wide-ranging interview on topics that included this year's record northern summer Arctic ice growth, the US shale-gas revolution,
the collapse of renewable energy subsidies across Europe and the
faltering European carbon market, Dr Pachauri said no issues should be
off-limits for public discussion.
In Melbourne for a 24-hour visit to deliver a lecture for Deakin
University, Dr Pachauri said that people had the right to question the
science, whatever their motivations.
“People have to question these things and science only thrives on the basis of questioning,” Dr Pachauri said.
He said there was “no doubt about it” that it was good for controversial issues to be “thrashed out in the public arena”.
Dr Pachauri’s views contrast with arguments in Australia that views
outside the orthodox position of approved climate scientists should be
left unreported.
Unlike in Britain, there has been little publicity in Australia given
to recent acknowledgment by peak climate-science bodies in Britain and
the US of what has been a 17-year pause in global warming. Britain’s Met
Office has revised down its forecast for a global temperature rise,
predicting no further increase to 2017, which would extend the pause to
21 years.
Dr Pachauri said global average temperatures had plateaued at record levels and that the halt did not disprove global warming.
“The climate is changing because of natural factors and the impact of human actions,” Dr Pachauri said.
“If you look at temperatures going back 150 years, there are clearly
fluctuations which have occurred largely as a result of natural factors:
solar activity, volcanic activity and so on.
“What is quite perceptible is, in the last 50 years, the trend is upwards. “This is not to say you won’t have ups and downs – you will – but
what we should be concerned about is the trend, and that is being
influenced now to a large extent by human actions.”
He said that it would be 30 to 40 years “at least” before it was
possible to say that the long-term upward trend in global temperatures
had been broken." via Tom Nelson

'Man-caused global warming' does not exist. If the NY Times and Washington Post made this front page news and stopped promoting a falsehood, the whole thing would be over. That's how powerful these newspapers are. ed.
