Claims of a ‘pause’ in observed global temperature warming are comprehensively disproved in a pair of new studies published today. An international team of climate researchers reviewed existing data and studies and reanalyzed them. They concluded there has never been a statistically significant ‘pause’ in global warming. This conclusion holds whether considering the ‘pause’ as a change in the rate of warming in observations or as a mismatch in rate between observations and expectations from climate models.
