It is not the first time over the last 150 years or so that global temperatures
has stood still while the general trend has been upward. It is quite likely that
the upward trend will resume again. Although, it would be nice if it did not.
It just shows that there is more to be learned about the factors that affect climate.
Surely knowledge is better than ignorance.

Being wrong is not the same as lying, if indeed he was wrong. It has yet to
be determined if the general trend is wrong just because a few particulars
are not quite accurate. It would be nice if indeed AGW has leveled off and
little or no further increase will occur. I'm not willing to bet on this though.
It is data, not politics, that will determine where the facts lie.
