Japanese government acknowledges the global warming pause

Iowa Climate Science Education's avatarIowa Climate Science Education

Instead of discouraging the use of coal, Japan is increasing its number of coal-fired power plants by 35 percent.

Data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) clearly indicates that there has been no significant deviation in the monthly average temperature between 1998 and 2018.

Global Warming ‘Pause’ – UAH – Sep 2018-1998

Apparently based on that knowledge, Prime Minister Shinzō Abe has sanctioned  the addition of 35 new coal power plants to the 100 currently operational.

Since no sane country would want to reduce its energy supplies when average temperatures are declining, I think Abe is responding wisely to the new climate reality.

BREAKING ? Dr. Tim Ball wins @MichaelEMann lawsuit ? Mann has to pay

Readers surely recall that the easily offended Dr. Michael Mann launched a court case for defamation against climate skeptic Dr. Tim Ball of Canada.

In Feburary 2018 there was a complete dismissal in the lawsuit brought against Dr. Ball by Andrew Weaver of Canada, also for ?defamation?.

The Weaver defamation case involved an article Ball wrote saying that the IPCC had diverted almost all climate research funding and scientific investigation to anthropogenic global warming (AGW). This meant that there was virtually no advance in the wider understanding of climate and climate change. Ball referenced an interview with Weaver and attempts by a student to arrange a debate. Ball made some comments that were not fully substantiated, so they became the base of the defamation lawsuit.

That case was completely dismissed, you can read more here.
