...with shame and embarassment as news of record snow falls, global cooling and IPCC scandal continues to dominate the headlines. (See the Sunday Express below.) Among the reddest must be Dr David Viner's (see box left) and red faces must abound too on the Nobel prize committee, (will winning the the Nobel Prize ever mean what it used to ?) after their accolades last year to Al Gore and Rajendra K. Pachauri, chairman of UN's Nobel Peace Prize-winning IPCC. Dr Pachauri is under investigation in India regarding possible financial misdealings. However, today's post is from the UK Daily Mail, and will resonate with its freezing readers......Britain's big freeze is the start of a worldwide trend towards colder weather that seriously challenges global warming theories, eminent scientists claimed yesterday. T
he world has entered a 'cold mode' which is likely to bring a global dip in temperatures which will last for 20 to 30 years, they say. The predictions are based on an analysis of natural cycles in water temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans... Some experts believe these cycles - and not human pollution - can explain all the major changes in world temperatures If true, the research challenges the science behind climate change theories, and calls into question the political measures to halt global warming.
According to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, the warming of the Earth since 1900 is due to natural oceanic cycles, and not man-made greenhouse gases. It occurred because the world was in a 'warm mode' and would have happened regardless of mankind's rising carbon dioxide production And now oceanic cycles have switched to a 'cold mode', where data shows that the amount of Arctic summer sea ice has increased by more than a quarter since 2007.
The research has been carried out by eminent climate scientists, including Professor Mojib Latif. He is a leading member of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He and his colleagues predicted the cooling trend in a 2008 paper, and warned of it again at an IPCC conference in Geneva in September. Working at the prestigious Leibniz Institute in Kiel University in Germany, he has developed methods for measuring ocean temperatures 3,000ft under the surface, where the cooling and warming cycles start.
For Europe, the crucial factor is the temperature in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. He said such ocean cycles - known as multi-decadal oscillations or MDOs - could account for up to half of the rise in global warming in recent years. Professor Latif said: "A significant share of the warming we saw from 1980 to 2000 and at earlier periods in the 20th century was due to these cycles - as much as 50 per cent. 'They have now gone into reverse, so winters like this one will become much more likely. All this may well last two decades or longer. 'The extreme retreats that we have seen in glaciers and sea ice will come to a halt. For the time being, global warming has paused, and there may well be some cooling ...more here... more detail from the good professor in the Guardian, here...

I'm hoping the Pachauri investigation spreads through the Warmers' camp like Ebola. I really want to see a domino effect here.
It's bated breath stuff all right. I'm just wondering how long the MSM holds out before seeing the writing on the wall...
...and now the PSU investigation into Michael Mann. Could be a whitewash/greenwash but could also be very interesting.
The problem with the Nobel Peace Prize is that it's awarded by a sub-committe of members of the Norwegian - not the Swedish - parliament. It's always been fucked up as a result. All the other prizes are awarded in Sweden on the recommendation of appropriate learned bodies; but as a consequence of colonial history, Peace is based on the distorted world view of Norway. Wait until it runs out of oil and things get a little less luxurious: sanity may return.
Thanks anon. Recent awards have belittled the name Nobel, rather like giving a Pullitzer prize for literature to Witi Ihaemera.
