Has Global Warming Stopped?

The following is a short version of the litany of global warming denialists' current rhetoric:

  • "Current pause in global warming"
  • "lack of global warming for well over 10 years now."
  • "There is no credible (statistically significant) data that says global warming is occurring"
  • "fifteen years of warming, then fifteen of cooling"
  • "The last decades "rate of warming" is flat."
  • "Forget global warming...no warming in 15 years."

Are these things true?
