Hi Rat; Regarding your graph:
(1) Did you notice that your graph is labeled "skepticalscience.com"? Did you know that skepticalscience.com is not run by an atmospheric scientist? If you're going to claim that the climate predictions worked, and that there was no pause, you need to reference peer reviewed literature, not net garbage.
(2) I realize that true believers have difficulty assessing the compatibility of their own arguments, but don't you find it just a little strange that not only the mainstream media, but also the peer reviewed literature discusses the pause? The fact that you don't believe in it is farily entertaining, given how you used to use MSM and peer reviewed literature to beat our side up.
No, the above graph is a distortion of the record and has nothing to do with reality. The truth is that the climate predictions failed miserably. This *fact* is discussed at length in the peer reviewed literature. Your side, which seems to have an inability to admit its mistakes. This is not an uncommon defect of people with religious beliefs. So do you have a theory on why the BBC is reporting the failure of climate predictions? Is your theory that some secret source of money has corrupted them? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
For example, here's a couple of peer reviewed articles that don't hide from facts like you do:
Overestimated Global Warming over the past 20 years
Fyfe, Gillete, Zwiers, Nature Climate Change, Volume 3, September 2013
Recent observed global warming is significantly less than that simulated by climate models. This difference might be explained by some combination of errors in external forcing, model response and internal climate variability.

What are Climate Models Missing?
Stevens & Bony, Science 31 May 2013: Vol. 340 no. 6136 pp. 1053-1054
sciencemag.org
Now, instead of quoting net garbage, why don't you get a PhD in atmospheric chemistry, write a paper on why the climate predictions were accurate, and get it published in Nature.
Of course you won't do that because you're just another idiot, believing what you want to believe, in complete denial of reality (except when some little fact fits into your perverted ideas).
