There is a nine year old article that is doing the rounds online. about how there was no increase in global temperature for 15 years
Here is what jumps out at me that is wrong in the article and its current interpretation
1. It is 9 years old. And those posting it don't mention the clear increases since.
3. Or indeed the increase in the 15 years the article says there was no increase
4. "it is expected to address the fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record" 1998 wasn't the hottest year by 2013
You could claim the Hadcrut data, the IPCC use, is flawed in some way that means we should ignore it. But then you can't post the article as it uses Hadcrut data.
It is weird a 9 year old article has resurfaced and those posting it are only looking at the data for this exact 15 year period. And even then not actually looking at it. The code for these graphs is here
