"The temperature trend has peaked about 2002 and then rolls over and starts trending downward rather than continuing to rise as predicted."

I wasn't reading closely though, so there could be more stupidity above this. Anyone who believes that AGW doesn't allow for interannual variability isn't worth reading.

Precisely.

Data contradicting the religion must be derided and dismissed.

I mean it's not like there's far more CO2 ppm in the atmosphere this decade than in any decade by far in the 21st Century. Only fools would think that the constant higher CO2 levels would mandate higher rather than lower temperatures.
