What happened to global warming?

Much of the United States has been under a dome of hot air for the past few weeks. While that is about the same time frame as the debt ceiling debate, the hot air from Washington may not be the actual cause for the high temperatures across the U.S. Interestingly, there has not been much discussion on the weather websites about the cause of this hot air dome.

What has been more interesting, and even surprising, is the lack of commentary from global warming alarmists about this prolonged heat, which is breaking records in many areas. According to one weather site, temperatures are averaging about 11 degrees above normal. You would have expected the hue and cry of global warming environmentalists to be heard everywhere. However, hardly a whimper.

There is a reason why that is so. The reason is that the supposed "consensus" among scientists about the proof of global warming is evaporating in the glare of evidence. While the scientists who prepared the global warming computer models used their best information and made their best guesses to predict the behavior of the earth's climate system, their guesses were not correct. According to a study released last week, NASA satellite measurements taken from 2000 to the present indicate that the planet sheds excess heat at a much higher rate than was predicted. It also shows that manmade carbon dioxide is not a major factor in the global climate. Furthermore, this new evidence is apparently supported by data drawn from NASA and NOAA which has been collected from various sources over several decades.

What it boils down to is that the earth really isn't getting warmer as the climate change people predicted, and the data is proving it. The computer models that predicted global warming were wrong, and that is why the science community has suddenly become quiet about it.
