So, when you say 10 of the warmest years occurred in the last 12 years, that is an irrelevance as it in no way disproves my statement that the earth's temperature has entered a hiatus.
Far from being rubbish spouted by 2GB, the existance of the "hiatus" is acknowledged in the 5th Assessment Report of the UN's Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change. Perhaps you can approach them and tell them that their statement is rubbish?

Where did you get that from???
Section 2, Observations: Atmosphere and Surface
page 162,
states the
temperature increase for: "the 2003– 2012 period is 0.78 [0.72 to 0.85] °C "
They also stress:
"Owing to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends"
You can spin that into a zero, but you'd be misrepresenting the facts.
