As global warming increases, winters become warmer and poles begin to melt, as it has been warned by a number of environmentalist organizations as well as politicians and even celebrities, but that hasn't stopped skeptics from denying the existence of the phenomenon altogether or saying it "halted" at the turn of the century.

The United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has published a new report about the historical way in which global warming increases in the journal Science, in a paper entitled "Possible artifacts of data biases in the recent global surface warming hiatus," speaking about how the "pause" theory may have been wrong from its beginnings.

According to The New York Times, ever since 2000, scientists have explained that there has been a slowdown in the speed in which global warming increases (namely, it's now slower), a phenomenon that has been wrongly called a "pause" or "hiatus," all while emissions of carbon dioxide soared.

The Guardian reports that the new paper about how global warming increases over history saw scientists noticing discrepancies between data, as the methods of measuring global surface over the past century have been changed, which has prompted wrongful data over the past few years.

Although the data adjustments were slight, they removed the edge of the graph that has made skeptics claim that global warming increases have been slower in the past 15 years, proving that the effects continue and there has been no alteration to the speed in which this phenomenon is occurring - in fact, the speed remains the same.

"We found that the rate of warming over the past 15 years was no different than the rate of warming in the second half of the 20th century," said Thomas Karl, the NOAA director and lead author of the recent study, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Other outlets have pointed out that the previous model stood on very little if it was so easy to show that global warming increases remain the same by barely adjusting it.
