The five-year mean global temperature has been flat for the last decade… – James Hansen et al.

You truly have jumped the shark from politically motivated supporter to delusional if you can’t admit what even “Handcuffs” Hansen has admitted.

There is no such thing as climate stasis. It has not been proven that changes you mentioned are due entirely to or overwhelmingly to the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. The quick dismissal of natural forces in climate change (solar variance, ocean currents, etc.) leads the honest, skeptical scientist to question the motivation of those who are so quick to “use Mike’s trick to hide the decline”.
