Observations indicate that global temperature rise has slowed in the last decade. The least squares trend for January 1999 to December 2008 calculated from the HadCRUT3 dataset is +0.07±0.07°C decade–1—much less than the 0.18°C decade–1 recorded between 1979 and 2005 and the 0.2°C decade–1 expected in the next decade.

“The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 yr or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate.”
OK, so in December 2013 we’ll get a paper advising us that recalculation has determined that we really need a 20 yr interval to create a discrepancy…
It would be funny if it wasn t so serious. It doesnt matter what happens , AGW is true!
At least this paper might shut up those who continue to defy the fact that warming appears to have stopped. Fancy the trend being the same as the error factor!
I suppose we should be grateful they have not doctored the stats, but its amazing how their bias prevents them from saying that maybe the whole theory is crap!
