'It's nuts': Joe Bastardi shreds global warming study for 'stealing and repackaging' ideas of others [correction added]

WeatherBell.com chief meteorologist and outspoken critic of Al Gore-style global warming “science,” Joe Bastardi, tweeted a link to a Bloomberg News article about attempts to determine “why the rate of global warming has eased in the past 20 years while greenhouse-gas emissions have surged to a record”:

THIS IS ALL CLIMATE CYCLE THEORY!

In other words, those “scientists” are trying to figure out why the planet isn’t cooperating with their scare mongering rhetoric.

Bastardi blasted the authors of the study for “discovering” what’s been known for decades and re-shaping the findings of others to fit their agenda:

The Oscillation in wind/ocean is a known and leads to the shifts back and forth in multi-decadol patterns.They are discovering what is known

AGW people dont know climate cycle theories that many of us do.. and suddenly "discover" them and then own them as their own. Its nuts

Its like they are redistributing ideas that someone else found, and making them their own. Literally stealing and repackaging for own agenda

The 1970’s was of course back when there was an ice age scare instead of global warming.

Update:

Bastardi adds this:

@TwitchyTeam I wil probably do my @PatriotPost this week on the repackaging of known climate cycle arguments as AGW driven. #desperation
