Fred, I guess since you are so interested in the temperature trends you must believe that the measurements are accurate. Therefore you must also recognize that the so-called “hiatus” is a slowing of the rate of warming, not that it has stopped, correct? And that you can’t slectively accept some of the science, but not all of it? So if a 15 year slow-down is proof it isn’t happening, then it must me obvious to you that the dramatic rise in temps using a much larger sample size (a longer period) is an even better indicator of the trend. And the melting ice. And the acidification of the oceans. And the identification of the source of the CO2. And…
