Global warming – more tortoise than hare? [image credit: hevria.com]
Once again the forces of climate fear are sounding the alarm bells, but is there anything new to justify it? A new report thinks not.

Contrary to claims by the WMO that global warming and its impacts are speeding up, data shows that since 2016, global temps have continued to decline, says Dr. Benny Peiser @ The GWPF .
The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) is misleading the public by suggesting that global warming and its impacts are accelerating.
In fact, since 2016 global average temperature has continued to decline.
That’s according to Norwegian Professor Ole Humlum whose annual review of the world’s climate is published today by the Global Warming Policy Foundation.
Last week, the WMO issued its own review of the climate, which insinuated that global warming was worsening.
However, Professor Humlum points out that the data tells a very different story:
“Reading the WMO report, you would think that global warming was getting worse. But in fact, it is carefully worded to give a false impression. The data are far more suggestive of an improvement than deterioration.”
And the lack of anything to be alarmed about is clear across a range of measures, says Professor Humlum:
“After the warm year of 2016, temperatures last year continued to fall back to levels of the so-called warming “pause” of 2000-2015. There is no sign of any acceleration in global temperature, hurricanes or sea-level rise. These empirical observations show no sign of acceleration whatsoever.”
Professor Humlum’s key findings are here .
