====2011: Berkeley Earth Project "BEST" dissension, and widely publicized claims of "pause"====Curry was a member of the partially-Koch-funded [[Berkeley Earth Project]] temperature reanalysis project headed by former [[global warming skeptic]] [[Richard Muller]], which reanalyzed existing weather station data and found yes, global warming was real. The project FAQ[http://berkeleyearth.org/FAQ.php#stopped] (and a draft paper, on which lists Curry appears in among the list of authors[http://tamino.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/questions-for-judith-curry/#comment-56059]) reported there was no evidence to indicate the rate of global warming had changed in the last decade, but . But despite Curry's having agreed (as evinced by virtue of co-authoringher coauthorship) with this conclusion{{fact}}, [[London Daily Mail]] contrarian (and oft-misrepresenting[http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2010/12/rosegate_rose_does_to_data_wha_1.php], [http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2010/01/rosegate.php], [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2055191/Scientists-said-climate-change-sceptics-proved-wrong-accused-hiding-truth-colleague.html]) journalist [[David Rose]] portrayed a vigorously-disagreeing Curry saying, "This is 'hide the decline' stuff. Our data show the pause, just as the other sets of data do.

Besides which, basing her statement on "It may have stopped since 1998" is really no different than "it may have stopped since last Thursday.""[http://tamino.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/questions-for-judith-curry/#comment-56071]
