re: #431 Cato the Elder

By the way, I just finished reading through some of these emails.

If bits like this:

There’s an email from senior IPCC scientist Kevin Trenberth in which he asks, “Where the heck is global warming?…The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t.” [emphasis mine]

turn out to be echt, I’d say that Houston (or whoever’s running the good ship AGW) may indeed have a little problem.

The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t.

I dunno, you will have to hang your hat on a bigger hook than that if you want the prize. Could be that he is simply frustrated that the science isn’t good enough to explain enough of the short term fluctuations as in “at the moment”.
