My Washington Examiner colleague Ashe Schow links to Hayley Dixon’s story in the Telegraph reporting a leaked report to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in which scientists predict that the earth is entering an extended period of global cooling. Those scientists note that the ice cover in the Arctic Sea has increased 60% this year as compared to 2012, instead of melting away as global warming alarmists predicted. And they note — and this is more significant — the embarrassing fact that there has been a “pause” in global warming since 1997 rather than the increase in temperatures that the alarmists predicted.
This is starting to look like an Emily Litella moment — you know, the Saturday Night Live character who, on being told that an elaborate theory she has spun out from a misinterpretation of words is wrong, says, “Never mind.”
