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”:
Global-Warming Slowdown Due to Pacific Winds, Study Shows http://t.co/bA3yTuroqA via @BloombergNews
THIS IS ALL CLIMATE CYCLE THEORY!— Joe Bastardi (@BigJoeBastardi) February 9, 2014
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
— Joe Bastardi (@BigJoeBastardi) February 9, 2014
Its like they are redistributing ideas that someone else found, and making them their own. Literally stealing and repackaging for own agenda

To all agw people for the kajillionth time read Dr Bill Grays paper on this which explains it all. His idea, from 70shttp://t.co/jGlWlcaTyu

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
