Expert witnesses called by Sen. Barbara Boxer to testify during
Senate Environment and Public Works hearings yesterday contradicted a
key assertion made by President Barack Obama on climate change.
Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser less than a month before
directing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to impose costly new
restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions, Obama said, “we also know that the climate is warming faster than anybody anticipated five or 10 years ago.”
“I don’t have much patience for people who deny climate change,” Obama added.
However, climate scientists including United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) lead author Hans von
Storch report
temperatures have remained essentially flat for the past 10 years, and
indeed for the past 15 years. Storch told Der Spiegel that 98 percent
of IPCC climate models cannot replicate the prolonged pause in global
warming, and IPCC may need to revise its computer models to correct
their apparent warming bias.
