You assume that if sunspots were accounted for in the latest models, then the present cooling period would have been predicted.

No, sunspots I think are just one thing. I'm sure there are a vast amount of problems with the models. The global climate is just too damned complicated to model and we don't know enough about how everything interrelates. The whole modeling effort is an exercise in futility.

Here's the reality. When you look at the heat maps of the globe, you find that the recent cooling is largely a North American phenomenon.

I don't believe that. And btw the satellite and ocean buoy measurements agree. From what I've read the land temperature measurements outside the US are even more distorted by the urban heat island effect than US weather stations are and the US stations have major problems in this area.



But when we talk about Global Warming, it is still happening as evidenced by the heat map below.
