I challenge everyone on this thread to state, without doing a google search, where they get their information that formed their opinion on GW, CC, Climate disruption or whatever the term of the day.
I try and use the NOAA site if I can find the information, but it appears maybe they cooked the books, don't really know.
There isn't any actual evidence any books were cooked. Its an unsupported conspiracy theory.
What I found on their site is that the global air-sea temperatures have not really increased in the last 14 years which is not a little bit of time.
BTW, what happened to the famous hockey stick? Is it still up Mann's butt where it was shoved some time ago?
If you take annual averages, you're right. That doesn't really make much sense from a statistcial point of view, as changes in climate vary on longer timescales.
It is interesting to me that the denialists want to blame the Sun - whose cycle is 11 years long - and then proceed to declare GW over based on 1 year averaged data! That's a bit inconsistent. Going by decades - 2000-2009 was the warmest on record.
Using the annual average, GW has paused for twice as long as that before.
