What do you mean "What do you mean"? Hard, unadulterated data. Even Rajendra Pachauri concedes that there has been no warming for 17 years.
Compare that time, which warmists say is too short to be relevant to the warming period from early '70s [a low point] to '98 which is about 25 years. Why is 17 years too short to be a trend but 25 years a "proven" scary uptrend? Shades of double standards here.
lol, the 17 year zombie. Someone needs to shoot that thing in the head. You guys are like Linus with his blanket.
It should read 'no significant warming for 17 years'. There is a big difference, as the trend is still a warming trend, though over short periods the error is relatively much larger, hence the failure to be 'significant'.
If asked the question; 'Has there been any significant warming in the last 17 years?' The correct answer is No. Though by asking that question you force the recipient to start the analysis in the year of the most intense El Nino in recent history.
Now I ask you. Is there significant warming if the time frame chosen is 16 or 18 years?
