In the trend of global average temperature over the past 35 years (0.17 degrees per decade for HadCRU, GISS and NCDC) there is no sign of a change in such trend during the past 10-12 years.
An apparent plateau in temperature only exists when specific start- and endpoints are picked, as well as a specific temperature series (HadCRU as opposed to GISS or NCDC). It is therefore not a robust feature of the temperature change, plus the period is too short to unequivocally see the trend (0.17 deg/decade over 1975-2009) rise above the yearly variability of the weather (sometimes exceeding 0.2 degrees). See some graphs of all three temperature series here: http://ourchangingclimate.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/global-average-temperature-increase-giss-hadcru-and-ncdc-compared/ Bart On 2 mrt, 23:34, Robert I Ellison <[email protected]> wrote: > David - you may quibble about reasons or significance but outright > denial is not a good look. > > http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporate/pressoffice/2009/global_tempera... > > On Mar 2, 11:54 am, "David B.
