Hide and Heat

According to the Reynolds Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature Data Set (Volume 2), the surface temperature of the Pacific Ocean ceased its warming in 1994. This stands in stark contrast to virtually every one of the IPCC's climate models which all had predicted significant warming there. And, while, yes, these modelers were a little bit more accurate when it came to predicting temperatures in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (the warming there not so much the result of human-based CO2 but naturally occurring oscillations), even with those two bodies of water, the warming had all but ceased by 2003. How anybody with a straight face can continue to push this idiotic theory (based almost entirely on computer simulations that are currently 0 for 40-something) is totally beyond me.
