No Net Global Warming in the 21st Century

Until the global warming scientists like Jim Hansen and Phil Jones deal adequately and honestly and openly with the following data, their theories and models will remain under suspicion by many skeptics.  Trying to deny it or cover it up, such as seems to have happened in the 'Climategate' emails, is not helping the situation.
"There’s been no net global warming in the 21st century. Although seldom reported by the mainstream media, it’s quite a story, because no climate model predicted it."


"This graph, courtesy of atmospheric scientist John Christy, shows how climate models and reality diverge. The red, purple, and orange lines are model forecasts of global temperatures under different emission scenarios. The yellow line shows how much warming we are supposedly “committed to” even if CO2 concentrations don’t change. The blue and green lines are actual temperatures as measured by ground-based (HadCrut) and satellite (UAH LT) monitoring systems."

"What’s really rather remarkable, is that since 2000, the rates at which CO2 emissions and concentrations are increasing have accelerated."
