Mike Kuipers Von Lande has continued his denialist misinformation campaign against the Greens in this debate happening in the The Weekend Sun letters pages by stating the International Panel on Climate Change's 2014 report admitted no global warming in the last 15 years.
This is neither true nor the whole story - cherry picking of the data is a standard denialist tactic.
It's true that the warming of average global surface temperatures has slowed - not stopped - during the last 15 years.
But the overall warming of the entire climate system has continued rapidly during the last 15 years, being even faster than the 15 years before that.
Also, the surface temperatures represent only about two per cent of the overall warming of the global climate.
The IPCC report indicates more than 90 per cent of global warming goes into heating of the deep oceans, and it continues at a rapid pace, equivalent to about four Hiroshima atomic bomb detonations per second.

Its all the same to Kuipers von Lande.He fancies himself as the self appointed hatchet man of the ultra right.Truth has little to do with their agenda.Robin Bell.
Oh Dear Mr. Bell

Tired of waving your racist flag around and now jumping onto the GW bandwagon to see if you can spread your falsehoods here too Mr Bell? Why am I not surprised.
No denial then mike,

your comment sounds awfully like a bit of self analysis.Feel free to enlarge on my "racism",and perhaps explain why you can express your brutal criticism,yet complain when others apply it to you.Robin Bell.

At least you "greenies could come out of the closet, in a speech at the latest global warming "theatrics" in Warsaw German economist Ottmar Edenhofer, an official with [actually a co-chairman of] the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said in an interview, we need to get one thing clear, this is not about global warming it's about distribution of the worlds wealth. "Communism" got rid of it in the Soviet block, but, lets try it here, I wonder what Uganda's Mugabe or North Korea would do with billions of dollars given to them, bet you where it wouldn't go, "the people that needed it". It's election year so the "red's" sorry greenies are going to need global warming like a p addict need's a fix, with out it they cant go on. http://www.masterresource.org/2013/11/warsaw-talks-wealth-redistribution/
All aboard the

The team, which set out to prove climate change, is "stuck in their own experiment." Somewhere far, far to the south where it is summer, a group of global warming scientists"were" trapped in the Antarctic ice,” 'If you missed the irony of that situation, it is because much of the mainstream media has glossed over that rather inconvenient bit of hilarity.” The scientific team had been recreating Australian explorer Douglas Mawson's century-old voyage to Antarctica when it became trapped. "Um, there is a bit more to the expedition than merely following in the footsteps of a century-old voyage." The expedition led by Chris Turney, 'climate scientist”, who has 'set up a carbon refining company called Carbonscape ” The purpose of the expedition was 'to discover and communicate the environmental changes taking place in the south.” had the ice thinned? aaaah, not really,LOL.

Unnoticed, the IPCC has slashed its global-warming predictions, implicitly rejecting the models on which it once so heavily and imprudently relied. In the second draft of the Fifth Assessment Report it had broadly agreed with the models that the world will warm by 0.4 to 1.0 Cº from 2016-2035 against 1986-2005. But in the final draft it quietly cut the 30-year projection to 0.3-0.7 Cº, saying the warming is more likely to be at the lower end of the range [equivalent to about 0.4 Cº over 30 years]. If that rate continued till 2100, global warming this century could be as little as 1.3 Cº. Official projections of global warming have plummeted since Dr. James Hansen of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies told the U.S. Congress in June 1988 the world would warm by 1 Cº every 20 years till 2050.
