Yeah, pretty cute.

I checked out your site and saw amongst the cheap sensationalist teasers, the article you mention.

I see that they have quotes from experts:

Quote:
”Clearly, a ‘pause’ or ‘hiatus’ exists in this most pristine climate data,” writes Anthony Watts, a veteran meteorologist and publisher of the science blog Watts Up With That. “In fact, a very slight cooling trend appears.”
It's good to quote people, it seems to add credibility...

Then I looked up "Anthony Watts" in Wikipedia, where you can see that Willard Anthony Watts is a college drop out...

Quote:
Watts assisted with the setup of a radio program for his high school in Indiana, and later attended electrical engineering and meteorology classes at Purdue University, but did not graduate or receive a degree.
So Xringer, it's good to know the kind of people you are getting your misinformation from.

It says a lot about your credibility and gullibility.

Quote:
Gullibility is a failure of social intelligence in which a person is easily tricked or manipulated into an ill-advised course of action. It is closely related to credulity, which is the tendency to believe unlikely propositions that are unsupported by evidence.
I hope you are enjoying your retirement.

Best,
