http://www.skepticalscience.com/Pacific-Decadal-Oscillation.htm Oh and Sou, I clearly don't think the sun from the 1950's -1960's is still heating up the planet because the temperatures have been stagnant since 1998 - 2000 - a flat line - no rising temperatures in over a decade.

That the planet's temperature was declining over the last 2,000 years until 150 years ago when that trend did an about - face, and temperatures started rising rapidly.

I clearly don't think the sun from the 1950's -1960's is still heating up the planet because the temperatures have been stagnant since 1998 - 2000 - a flat line - no rising temperatures in over a decade.
