On the RSS satellite data, there has been no global warming statistically distinguishable from zero for more than 26 years. None of the models predicted that, in effect, there would be no global warming for a quarter of a century...

Any comments from Climate Scientists about this Global Warming halt?

Yes, the last few years we had a number comments. From The Hockey Schtick:

Dr. Phil Jones - CRU emails - 5th July, 2005: "The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant...."

Dr. Phil Jones - CRU emails - 7th May, 2009: ‘Bottom line: the ‘no upward trend’ has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.’

Dr. Judith L. Lean - Geophysical Research Letters - 15 Aug 2009: "...This lack of overall warming is analogous to the period from 2002 to 2008 when decreasing solar irradiance also countered much of the anthropogenic warming..."

Dr. Kevin Trenberth - CRU emails - 12 Oct. 2009: "Well, I have my own article on where the heck is global warming.....The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t."

Dr. Mojib Latif - Spiegel - 19th November 2009: "At present, however, the warming is taking a break,"......."There can be no argument about that."

Dr. Jochem Marotzke - Spiegel - 19th November 2009: "It cannot be denied that this is one of the hottest issues in the scientific community.... We don’t really know why this stagnation is taking place at this point."

Dr. Phil Jones - BBC - 13th February 2010: "I’m a scientist trying to measure temperature. If I registered that the climate has been cooling I’d say so. But it hasn’t until recently - and then barely at all. The trend is a warming trend."

Dr. Phil Jones - BBC - 13th February 2010: [Q] B - "Do you agree that from 1995 to the present there has been no statistically-significant global warming"

[A] "Yes, but only just".


Question: If we had no warming the last 26 years, then how come 2014 is the hottest year on record?

Answer: It is not. You need real temperatures to have a record. Fabricating temperatures in Zombie stations is a fraud, not a record.
