That's patently false except for a minor thermal expansion. Put ice cubes in a glass of water. The author hasn't heard about Archimedes and the displacement of water?

The Sun comes up it gets warm ,the Sun goes down it cools
But...but...but they assured me that we were all gonna die!
What kind of sick, twisted people-hating freak would NOT see the absence of warming as good news. It's like they WANTED something bad to happen and are disappointed that it didn't.
* prominent right-wing pols suggest its an enormous fraud *
...plus 31,000 scientists and the founder of the Weather Channel...
...oh yeah, don’t forget about Climategate One and Two exposing it as a fraud without a doubt.
It seems like this article is admitting that the AGW hoax is a bunch of baloney without wanting to.
Wouldn't it be simpler to look at the data around us with an open mind, and make whatever hypothesis seemed to explain reality?
[[Explaining the Global Warming Hiatus: Grappling with climate-change nuance in a toxic political...]]
there are no freakin nuances- The earth wamrs, the earth cools- case closed-
Glaciers melt, glaciers form- case colsed
Tropics form, ice caps form case closed
CO2 occures 99.996% NATURALLY- case closed
Man’s insignificant 0.004% contribution to total amospheris CO2 levels isl ike a man pissing i nthe ocean once every 100 years- NOTHING is goign to happen- the ocean wiull be fine- case closed
There are so many lies in the article that it is not worth explaining. Things are said actually in support of global warming but are simply lies, Warming has not slowed as the article states, we are actually cooling.
When people run out of food because of cold weather then maybe perhaps people will believe.

Not that I agree with the global warmists, but their contention is that warming will melt the ice above ground and the seas (polar caps, glaciers, etc.), run into it and cause the sea level to rise. So displacement from floating ice is not part of it.
But even if all the ice on earth melted, how much of a percentage would the water volume of the sea go up? I bet in the hundredths of a percent.
But we never bothered mentioning this before, never considered it in ranges of projections and certainly never constructed our models to deal with it.
If the atmosphere is warming more slowly than projected, where did the heat go?
Of course the theory says the greenhouse effect will absolutely, positively, no exceptions, no questions, NOT go anywhere but heat up our atmosphere.
or there might be less heat in the climate system than scientists predicted.Now you sound like a denier.
The most obvious culprit is the ocean,
But the theory says there were no variables that would effect the outcome. Not the sun variations, not the oceans, not the vegetation. Now we hear that the sneaky ocean is culprit in spoiling all the climate folks fun.
But other scientists think that the heat is missing because it never made into Earth's climate system.
Wait..a...minute. Who are these other scientists in a science that is fully settled?
The sun itself is a major factor in forcing
Ouch, I got whiplash. The sun? That's impossible.
“The greenhouse effect is truly undeniablejust consider Venus, where 96.5 percent of the atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide, and the average surface temperature is more than 860 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Gee, could the fact that Venus is about 40% closer to the Sun have anything at all to do with that temperature?
The bible is relevant
2 Peter 2
False Prophets and Their Punishment
2 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive opinions. They will even deny the Master who bought thembringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Even so, many will follow their licentious ways, and because of these teachers[a] the way of truth will be maligned. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation, pronounced against them long ago, has not been idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
Deuteronomy 18:22
New International Version (NIV)
22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.
You just can't make this stuff up, but they sure can!
From Seattle.....
First day of summer.
12 Noon.
Just flipped the heat on to take the chill off the apartment.
60 degrees outside.
By the way.....
I love how “Alarmists” claim we “cherry picked” the data.
No matter what year you start from, there’s been a plateau in warming for the LAST 15 freaking years!
I don’t recall anyone predicting that would happen in 1998.
