Data from Remote Sensing System (Satellite). In the above graphic, the zero line from February 2000 has been offset to make it visible. It actually falls right on top of the zero trend line from December 1996.
The title may seem odd since RSS shows no trend for 18 years and 3 months now. The title was triggered by an exchange several years ago in which we were challenged to show there was no warming for 15 years. I promptly showed that to be the case with RSS, but was accused of cherry picking since I went on the other side of the 1998 El Nino. Some one else started on this side of the 1998 El Nino and was accused of not going 15 years. We could not win then. But now we can.
Fifteen years is important because of the following quote by NOAA found on page 23:
”The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 yr or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate.”
Later, NOAA talks about El Ninos and the bottom line seemed to be that if any trend goes on the other side of the 1998 El Nino, then the simulations are not invalidated. I have always said that the La Ninas on either side of the 1998 El Nino cancel out the affects of the 1998 El Nino, but that did not seem to matter. People focus on and see what they want to see.
Note also that the 15 years is a time for a slope of zero. So to get no warming at the 95% level, one could easily add about 4 years unless anomalies really fell off a cliff prior to February 2000. So whichever way we look at it, RSS shows a discrepancy with the simulations.
At this point, some may ask about UAH, which only shows no warming since April 2009. However both Dr. McKitrick and Nick Stokes agree the time for no statistically significant warming is over 15 years for UAH. For further details, see section 2 or rows 8, 9 and 10 from the table in section 3.

As I said in another recent post ...

I’m ABSOLUTELY a FIRM BELIEVER in Climate Change. Anyone who denies Climate Chamfe is an idiot. It’s clearly obvious the Climate has changed many times in earth’s history. Where do you think the Glaciers came from?! Where do you think the Glaciers went?! ... LOL ...
And to put it another way, I’m a FIRM BELIEVER in Global Warming and Global Cooling! Again, anyone who denies that is an IDIOT!!
It’s only “Anthropogenic Global Warming” that doesn’t have true scientific support. It has “politicized” support and nothing more!

Blasphemer! Repent to the angry sky gods!
Post from the WUWT article which Obama needs to heed:
“Even Kings and Presidents have to yield to facts eventually. Denying reality has a time limit.”
The article mentions that RSS shows no warming for 18 years 3 months(?) but the title says 15 years because NOAA said that the only way their warming models could be inavlidated is if it were shown that no warming has occurred for at least 15 years after the 1998 El Nino.
It has now been shown.
precisely and exactly
Okay, maybe no warming, but can anyone deny that there has been actual climate change each of those years?
It’s been occurring on average four times every year, roughly every three months or so.
If we don’t impose severe financial sanctions, and raise taxes, on every man, woman and child in the US - and only in the US - we may all find that, at the end of our lives, we will surely die!
Seasons change; we die. Coincidence?
