Has global warming stopped ‘sometime in the last decade’?

What if three out five of the primary data sources show a negative linear trend for the last ten years? Answer: I should be very suspicious of absolutist claims…

See 5 primary data sources

If you scroll half way down to the “Comparing global air temperature estimates” you can see summaries of the trend.

The annual linear trend, last ten years, for UAH MSU, RSS MSU and Had CRUT3 are negative. The last ten years annual linear trend for GISS and NCDC are positve.

The annual linear trend for all five sources for the last five years is negative.

This does not disprove AGW. Otherwise the IPCC would have already gone home. But it says they have a HELL of lot of explaining to do.

And check out those “Central England air temperature since 1659”. I do not see the hockey stick explosion in temps.
