*Study says warmer temperatures are largely due to natural 300-year cycles
*Actual increase in last 17 years lower than almost every prediction
*Scientists likened continuing pause to a Mexican wave in a stadium

The 17-year pause in global warming is likely to last into the 2030s and the Arctic sea ice has already started to recover, according to new research.
A paper in the peer-reviewed journal Climate Dynamics – by Professor Judith Curry of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Dr Marcia Wyatt – amounts to a stunning challenge to climate science orthodoxy.
Not only does it explain the unexpected pause, it suggests that the scientific majority – whose views are represented by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – have underestimated the role of natural cycles and exaggerated that of greenhouse gases.
“If you like your global warming you can keep it.”
Its nice to see evidence that shows a different side!
