In a blind test, the AP gave temperature data to four independent statisticians and asked them to look for trends, without telling them what the numbers represented. The experts found no true temperature declines over ...

Global Cooling, a Zombie Myth
FUTURISM NOW — Skeptics like to say there has been no global warming for 10 years, and some even go so far as to say we are entering a period of global cooling.  It’s not true, of course.

The cooling myths results from politicians and their zombie-like  followers who don’t want climate change legislation to pass, by cherry-picking the data to fit their ideology.  The real data does not bear out ...
