Even the penultimate arbiter of AGW in England admits there has been no warming for nearly 20 years. How come that is not reported by the darlings of the Government?
If you watched the video I posted you would see that the "lack" of warming since 1995 is not quite accurate. There has been slight warming, but it's been at such a slow rate that it is outside the statistically significant values. If I'm correct in my interpretation, that means that they can't say for sure that there has been warming, but they can't say for sure that there hasn't been, either.

But one thing to remember is that the solar sunspot cycle was declining for about the last 8 years, which should have meant cooling temperatures. And for the last 2-3 years there has been virtually no sunspot activity at all, suggesting even more cooling of the atmosphere. Yet the global temps have remained stable, or possibly risen slightly. Now that the sunspot cycle has restarted we should start seeing higher temperatures over the next 5-7 years. Just how high is anybody's guess.
