Given the total irrelevance of volcanic aerosols during the period in question, the only very modest effect of fossil fuel emissions and the many inconsistencies governing the data pertaining to solar irradiance, it seems clear that climate science has no meaningful explanation for the considerable warming trend we see in the earlier part of the 20th century — and if that's the case, then there is no reason to assume that the warming we see in the latter part of that century could not also be due to either some as yet unknown natural force, or perhaps simply random drift.

«These results warn against drawing over-optimistic conclusions from the relatively modest loss of mountain plant populations likely to be observed during the coming decades», says Stefan Dullinger from the University of Vienna, «because the final consequences of climate warming on plant distribution in the Alps will only become realized with a delay of decades or even centuries.»

Most of your readers are probably unaware of the fact that doubling carbon dioxide in itself only produces a modest warming effect of about 1.2 C and that to get dangerous warming requires feedbacks from water vapour, clouds and other phenomena for which the evidence is far more doubtful.

Ok, so then are you saying that if we follow my rule for picking decades of only allowing years that are multiples of ten when specifying ranges, the last decade warmed almost as fast as the previous one, but if we follow your rule of only allowing years that are congruent to 1 mod 10, per the fencepost error that makes the year 1990 part of the 1980's, then the warming paused during the last decade?

I've never disagreed with the possibility of climate disruption from anthropenic activities I've only argued that disruption is very likely to be overshadowed by net benefits like modest warming when the earth has been in a ice age for 4 million years, more warming in the higher latitudes and less in the lower exactly where most people would wish for warming (or lack thereof), and fertilization of the atmosphere with CO2 (plant food).
