“20-year periods of global cooling in excess of 0.2 °C per decade can occur, as a result of internal variability alone, “
As TB pointed out this explains the warming circa 76-98. That is the death knell for AGW and highlights Lamb’s concerns about the “psychological reactions—even in the influential research community—to the variations towards greater or less warmth as and when they occur.”
Co2 is busted.

The Met Office have had another attempt at explaining the global temperature hiatus.
Using, you’ve guessed it, “models”, they conclude:
A new study, led by Met Office climate scientist Chris Roberts and colleagues, looks at this issue by using a huge archive of climate model simulations collected from a number of international research centres. These are used to study whether internal variability has the potential to offset the expected global surface warming rate of 0.2 °C per decade associated with human influences.
This archive of 15,000 years of simulated climate represents a ‘laboratory’ in which to study the characteristics of the internal climate variability in the absence of changes in external forcing. These would be impossible to disentangle from the relatively short 150 years of the global observational record, where a number of external forcings come into play.
The researchers found that 20-year…
