Professor Tom Karl, the director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration鈥檚 National Centres for Environmental Information (NCEI) explains to Roland Pease about how his analysis using updated global surface temperature data disputes the existence of a previously reported 21st century global warming slowdown or pause.
