The whole Global Warming debate is as confusing as ever
Researchers from the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) say that there was no 'pause' in Global Warming
Dr Thomas Karl of NOAA point out that the warming rate over the past 15 years is "virtually identical" to the last century and updated observations show temperatures did not plateau
The idea of a global warming "hiatus" arose from questions over why the trend of warming temperatures appeared to be stalling recently compared to the later part of the 20th Century
The new analysis corrects for ocean observations made using different methods as well as including new data on surface temperatures
However Dr Peter Stott of the Met Office Hadley Centre said the results "still show the warming trend over the past 15 years has been slower than previous 15 year periods" and "global temperatures have not increased smoothly"
"This means natural variability in the climate system or other external factors has still had an influence and it's important we continue research to fully understand all the processes at work," he said
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global average temperatures have increased by around 0.05C per decade in the period between 1998 and 2012

This compares with an average of 0.12 per decade between 1951 and 2012
On the other hand, the new analysis suggests a figure of 0.116 per decade for 2000-2014, compared with 0.113 for 1950-1999

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Have a good day, Sir.

The plural of craft is crafts - when you're talking about embroidery, woodcarving & the like.
When you're talking about vessels, it's just craft.
I wonder if they're doing it already?
And how do you think they have been able to make multiple arrests in the Silk Road case? Hmmm...?
Gee, I mean, of course, Ross Ulbricht had pretty much zero SecOps, babbling this way and that on different forums, but it's still very suspicious he and other Silk Road operators and ''customers'' got arrested so fast.

Not really.
You can't tell people not to reproduce and you can't kill people to preserve resources and space.
I think you can. On occasion, this has actually happened.
not enough medical care
Why? I thought doctors and nurses started out as people, so if you have more people you have more raw material for making doctors & nurses.
The entire article is built on sand.
I'll second that one. My first Android phone was really bad. It was slow, buggy, full of crapware, and a pain to use.
I "switched" to a Samsung Galaxy Note, and never looked back. The user experience was simply great, almost as good as an iPhone, but much cheaper and with none of the iTunes crap.
I am now using a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7, and I absolutely love them both. My next smartphone will be either the next generation of Nexus, or the next Samsung.
During this time they shot over 70,000 images, which were combined in to the giant 365 Gigapxiel panorama using a special robotic head with a long 400mm telephoto lens (and a 2x Extender).
I don't think so.
I think it's more likely that they shot over 70,000 images using a special robotic head with a long 400mm telephoto lens, which were combined in to the giant 365 Gigapxiel[sic] panorama.
Yeah, I mean, take a look at NASA, it always had such a proud and distinguished record...
Oh, wait...
Seriously though: whether in Russia or in the USA, such an important agency, in charge of a large budget, is bound to generate fraud and shady dealings. At least, the Russian government is doing something about it.
