Global Warming `Hiatus` may be Just Statistical Error: Stanford Scientists

Using a novel statistical framework that was developed specifically for studying geophysical processes, researchers have shown that the hiatus never happened.

Apparently, the idea that global warming was 'stalled' or 'paused' during the period between 1998 and 2013, is actually an artifact arising from faulty statistical methods, revealed Stanford scientists.

Study lead author Bala Rajaratnam said, "The research team translated the various scientific claims and assertions that have been made about the hiatus and tested to see whether they stand up to rigorous statistical scrutiny."

Health Effects of Global Warming/What is Global Warming?
Greenhouse effect causes excessive heat to build up in the earth’s atmosphere causing global warming and affects the environment and health.

Using a novel statistical framework that was developed specifically for studying geophysical processes such as global temperature fluctuations, researchers have shown that the hiatus never happened. Co-author Noah Diffenbaugh said, "The results clearly show that, in terms of the statistics of the long-term global temperature data, there never was a hiatus, a pause or a slowdown in global warming."

The study is appeared online in Climatic Change.

Western Diet Linked to Global Warming
Scientists now say that giving up on the western “meat-loaded” diet or, in other words, not eating too much meat is the single most effective way to reduce global warming or cut greenhouse gas effect.
