Jim,
did you read this rubbish. Jeffrey Sachs has demolished this tripe. See my Around the Traps or Mark Thoma’s blog!
I do hope you are not turning into a poor man’s Stave Kayes!

what hiatus? oceans are warming and of course if we measured world temperatures as we should then the warming continues.

Last September, between the second and final draft of its fifth assessment report, the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change downgraded the warming it expected in the 30 years following 1995, to about 0.5 degrees Celsius from 0.7 (or, in Fahrenheit, to about 0.9 degrees, from 1.3).

If you studied statistics you would realise the silliness of that question.
