The powerline post, steered me to the source article: On climate, the Right is right – Global temperature update: the Pause is still 18 years 1 month
I suggest Boulderites peruse the article. An excerpt one paragraph/sentence towards the end of the article sums the present state of affairs nicely.
The length of the Great Pause in global warming, significant though it now is, is of less importance than the ever-growing discrepancy between the temperature trends predicted by models and the far less exciting real-world temperature change that has been observed.
Keep the faith Boulderites, keep the faith. When you have the most expensive energy in Colorado and are looking for someone to blame, look in the mirror.
