Much to the dismay of Christopher Monckton and his illiterati fans at WUWT, it's still not cooling

Christopher Monckton bemoans the fact that except on a few raggedy science denying blogs, there are no headlines screaming that the lower troposphere "hasn't warmed" in 17 years and five months. He can't manage to get his charts to show cooling but he's managed to show "no warming" since September 1996. ( Archived here.)

Christopher put up one of his favourite familiar looking charts:

Source: WUWT

Christopher carefully explained to his readers what it all means, especially the significance of the "bright blue horizontal line", in case they missed it:
Taking the least-squares linear-regression trend on this dataset (the bright blue horizontal line through the dark blue data), there has now been no global warming – at all – for 17 years 5 months.
For all the RSS watchers out there, here is an animation of the monthly RSS chart starting with the same period that Christopher used and stepping back 12 months at a time to when the satellite record began. Note the heading should read RSS Lower Troposphere Temperature. (It took too long to prepare so I'll not bother changing it just to fix the chart title).

Data Source: RSS

And here is a comparison of RSS and UAH annual temperature anomalies from the 1981-2010 baseline - over the full period of lower troposphere temperatures.

Data Sources: RSS and UAH

You might be interested to know that from 1998 to 2013 (inclusive), with both UAH and RSS there were seven years where the annual temperatures were below their respective rising trend lines and nine years where the annual temperature was above the rising trend lines.

I'm not trying to make any particular point here. Just figured you'd like to see what is occupying the collective mind of the denialati at WUWT. Just the same, for anyone who thinks that the rise in global temperatures has stalled, I suggest you read this article by Tamino and check out the updated Cowtan and Way analysis.
