re: a warming trend
A lot of denialists continue to assert there's no warming trend. In the link you provide, it says:
"climate trends are such that it's as likely we are in for another period of global cooling as warming"
Once again, anyone who thinks there's a 50-50 chance of cooling as there is of warming should take advantage of the bets.
Some denialists are changing their tunes and will increasingly change as evidence mounts, especially from the satellite data they used to parade about not so many years ago.
The denialists who now scream warming is just a coincidence have no mechanism or models to support their argument. They assume some unknown reason is increasing warmth, while the consensus position has an explanation of why the warmth is happening.
