Deniers have been pushing that global cooling hoax since the 1970s. The last ten years have been the warmest decade in the history of direct instrument measurement.A good point here is that while the 20th century warming was major, it will pale beside what we are going to see in the next 30 years. Even the last 10 years has been extroidinery. Look at the graph in Ian's avatar. Note that the running mean from 2002 to 2007 was higher than any previous high point in the running mean except that of 1998. In fact, for 8 of the 10 years from 2001 to 2010, this has been the case.
The last ten years has been without any statistically signifigant warming at all rocks. Even the hockey team admits that. If you would step outside the walls of the church of agw for just a minute and look around, what you would see is a very real concern for some very serious cooling over the next century or so.
Don't you think it is odd that your guys keep claiming that each year is a new record when there has been no warming?
