So by more balanced, you mean don't look at the upward trend...

Glug,

I am not saying it, the scientists who developed the satellite systems are saying it, amongst others.

Secondly we are looking for ZERO trend and that is demonstrated back to the peak. The trend can only continue if the temp remains stable. If the temp goes up with this year's El Nino then the trend may well finish, as do all trends. Some are longer, some are shorter, but there is no denying that with some accepted data sets there is a zero trend over the last eighteen years and eight months and with RSS it is up to 26 years.

There are an awful lot of well qualified people who disagree with you. The pause has been noted around the world and a quick google search reveals plenty of evidence of its acceptance.
I suggest you stop reading alarmist websites and find something more balanced to read.

As McKitrick states:
"I have been probing the arguments for global warming for well over a decade. In collaboration with a lot of excellent coauthors I have consistently found that when the layers get peeled back, what lies at the core is either flawed, misleading or simply non-existent."

So by more balanced, you mean don't look at the upward trend shown in the graph, and I should go and read an economics blogger who's aim is to find anything to fit the conclusion he has already formed.

I've given MY opinion of the graph, and I think the 18 year claim is irrelevant wank which skips over significant increases in an attempt to mislead from the trend shown in the graph.

As I said, best if we just agree to disagree on this point.

I do note that since 1998-99 we have experience global cooling, the temp has dropped from a high of +0.8 degrees to +0.3 degrees.
