AGW hype dying

Scottish Sceptic notices a dramatic change in MSM coverage of the global warming issue. It  appears that the cold weather last winter just killed off the majority of any remaining interest in the subject. Remarkable stuff.

I fear SS has missed this latest little gem from our Lords and Masters reported in the Torygraph and the Grauniad yesterday:

The alarmists should blame Houghton for this. The need to "announce disasters" meant that they made exaggerated claims about global warming based on each and every hot or extreme weather event.

Then when the weather did its normal random thing and it got cold,and the alarmists tried to spin this as global warming related, their credibility died across the broad public who have been hit with dozens of such scares over the past decade which failed to materialise.

The thing is that the effects of the 0.60C or so of global warming we have had are probably far too subtle for us to detect on a day to day basis and can only be found statistically.

... and are not even statistically significant as Doug Keenan has shown.

A nice thought but I fear 'Global Warming' as a phrase is now infra dig. They'd be using Climate Change or even Climate Disruption.
