Global Warming Is Not Slowing, Says Weather Agency By ANDREW C. REVKIN and JAMES KANTER
COPENHAGEN Despite recent fluctuations in global temperature year to year, which fueled claims of global cooling, a sustained global warming trend shows no signs of ending, according to new analysis by the World Meteorological Organization made public on Tuesday.
The decade of the 2000s is very likely the warmest decade in the modern record, dating back 150 years, according to a provisional summary of climate conditions near the end of 2009, the organization said.
The period from 2000 through 2009 has been warmer than the 1990s, which were warmer than the 1980s and so on, said Michel Jarraud, the secretary general of the international weather agency, speaking at a news conference at the climate talks in Copenhagen.
The international assessment largely meshes with an interim analysis by the National Climatic Data Center and NASA in the United States, both of which independently estimate global and regional temperature and other weather trends.
Mr. Jarraud also said that 2009, with some uncertainty because several weeks remain, appears to be the fifth warmest year on record.
Addressing questions raised about the reliability of climate data after the unauthorized release of e-mail messages and files from a British climate research unit that provides data to the global weather group, he said there was no evidence that the various independent estimates showing a warming world were in doubt.

Global Warming Is Not Slowing Due to the economic times, it is just taking a gov't mandated furlough in an effort to help the budget.

OK so 150 years ago it was as hot as it is now.
Earth and HUMANs survived. End of arguement.

Monckton showed a graph prepared by some of these guys that employed the end point fallacy. They drew baselines starting from about 150 years ago and chose the endpoints so that it made it look like accelerating warming the closer it got to the present. In actuality, there were three warming periods since 1850; one in the latter part of the 19th century, one centered around the 1930s, and the third most recently. They were each of almost the same duration and each had exactly the same slope. What happened in between them was a period of cooling that wasn't as great as the amount of warming, causing each warming period to end up at a bit higher level. Someone also pointed out that since we've been warming up for about 300 years now, it wouldn't be a surprise to see some of the warmest temperatures of the past 300 years in the most recent part of the 300 years.
These AGW guys are just crooks.

Funny, Dr. Phil Jones himself had this to say about the lack of warming over the past few years:
"The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn't statistically significant."
Source Email
So, he admits the cooling is happening but is not significant. But in Copenhagen, the party line is that there has been no cooling what so ever. It would seem that they can't keep their lies straight.

Ya mean the conference where 1200 limos & 400 private planes were used for attendance? Yeah, but it's OK -- I read that they bought "carbon offsets" . . . which I guess is another name for carbon credits . . . unless they're just different brand names? ;-)
