Only in lala land that you inhabit. 2010 and 2005 were as hot as 1998 to
within the experimental error on the global temperature time series.

Yes, so what? Fact is, the world has cooled 0.2deg in the last 17 years.


All the computer models of global temperature have been shown to be
wrong.

No. There are other factors that need to be taken into account. The
orthodoxy at the moment is that non-linear ocean currents are to blame
for the recent inflection. Personally I subscribe to the Keeling tides
conjecture and think that there is a cyclic component at around 60 years
responsible for the peaks at 1880, 1940 and 2000 superimposed on a
rising trend. There is good reason to suppose that it is related to
tidal forcing and periodicities inherent in the lunar solar cycle.

So you've figured this out, but until recently the IPCC had no idea? And
if the warming hadn't stopped would you have figured it out? No, of
course not. You are merely trying to find pseudo-scienticic explanation
that fits the observed facts.
The IPCC predicted temperature rises, taking everything they knew into
account, and they were wrong. So they were wrong, wrong, wrong. Geddit?


Since the trend from rising CO2 will win out in the end we can expect
another rapid increase in global temperatures starting from 2020 onwards
(and perhaps sooner). Global air temperatures at present are being held
back by increased churn dumping more heat into the deep oceans (which in
turn will lead to faster rising sea levels)

How do you know? How come this idea has only just been drempt up now the
computer modelling (on which everything depended) has been shown to be
wrong?

It's laughable that you and the other warmists are now frantically
concocting explanations for the divergence between the predictions and
reality.

If the predictions were wrong (and they were) they were wrong. Wrong
wrong wrong.
