Widely discussed method for coping with changes in divergence in dendrochrhonological trends in post 1960 tree ring data. It was not a decline in temperatures.
Method developed by Michael Mann and used by Phil Jones to deal with the "decline" in Keith Birffa's tree ring data.
A
global warming hiatus, also sometimes referred to as a
global warming pause[3] or a
global warming slowdown,
[4] is a period of a slower rate of increase of the global mean surface temperature (GMST), the globally average land and sea temperature at the bottom of the
troposphere. This can occur during continued
global warming of the Earth's
climate system when overall energy uptake is balanced by increased subsurface–ocean heat uptake.
[1]
Compared to the long term warming trend, hiatus periods of fifteen years are common in the surface
temperature record. The term is currently used to refer to the period since the exceptionally warm year of 1998. While evidence of continued multi-decadal warming is robust, there is considerable variability on annual to decadal scales, so shorter periods of ten or fifteen years can show weaker or stronger trends.
[1]Although the rate of increase in surface temperatures slowed during this period, increasing heat had been trapped in the oceans, at lower depths than previously.
[5]
For many years, those opposed to action on global warming have argued that a hiatus shows that global warming has stopped.
[3] Scientific research has continued into the extent to which it is due to natural variability, and mechanisms which have led to the recent hiatus.

Who needs evidence and experiments when we have Consensus and settled science?
Denier!! DEATH TO THE DENIERS!!! AGW AKBAR!!!!
Keep trying to portray yourself as a victim, Frank. Maybe SOMEONE will actually feel enough sympathy for you to overlook the complete crap you put up here as arguments.
