“The strong warming effect that we experienced during the last decades will be interrupted. Temperatures will be more or less steady for some years, and thereafter will pickup again and continue to warm”.
Thus the talking points are distributed for the folks who just won’t give up on man-made global warming. After all, they have to have some plausible explanation of why their predictions are not currently coming true.
But wait! We only have until the “thereafter” to find that warming will continue. /s
You’re right - I like that. “Pay no attention to the steady state periods or downtrends. Look only upon the upward trending data.” Why, I’ll bet these people can even pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
