The Economist published an article onJune 20, 2013 that discussed the climate plateau and how it has created doubt about the supposed scientific consensus.
This article discusses how Earth's climate change over the past ten years has been surprisingly low, stumping many scientists. Many previously claimed that there would be a drastic rise in temperatures do to increasing carbon emissions, but measurements have been at the lowest possible predictions. Mr. Cohn claims that this is a hiatus in the long term event that is global warming. Though this hiatus is good news for those concerned with dropping temperatures, it is detrimental to those who are trying to pass anti-carbon emissions legislature. This hiatus which scientists previously claimed impossible has cast a doubt over the pressing needs of environmental protection.
