While the local, seasonal climate forcing by the Milankovitch cycles is large (of the order 30 W / m2), the net forcing provided by Milankovitch is close to zero in the global mean, requiring other radiative terms (like albedo or greenhouse gas anomalies) to force global - mean temperature change.

It therefore makes no sense to only attribute changes from after the point of detection since you'll miss the first 2 sigma of the change... Similarly, we can still calculate the forced component of a change even if it isn't the only thing going on, and indeed, before it is statistically detectable in the global mean temperature anomaly.

First of all, the observed changes in global mean temperatures are more easily calculated in terms of anomalies (since anomalies have much greater spatial correlation than absolute temperatures).

Yes Wilt, the «global mean temperature anomaly ceased increasing» (in) the mid nineties, just as it did in the mid-every-decade since 1900, but «ceased increasing BY...» implies that it never resumed increasing, maybe you need a longer term view — or maybe we'll be fine because we can assume from the trend a «ceasation of increase» by the middle of the current decade?

The clearest quantity with some apparent predictability is the global mean temperature anomaly, where the chaotic (unpredictable) component appears to be much smaller than the forced (predictable) one.

Firstly, what is the best estimate of the global mean surface air temperature anomaly?

Note that no - one is plotting the «global mean temperature» — they are plotting the global mean anomaly (with respect to their baseline).

[Response I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here, but if you feel that you can only assess whether temperatures are changing by looking at 30 - year averages, consider the following: Global mean temperature anomalies (in degrees C, relative to 1961 - 90 reference period): 1885 - 1914: -0.35; 1915 - 1944: -0.18; 1945 - 1974: -0.07; 1975 - 2004: +0.21.
