For those who want to read it. the latest report (not some draft or summary) is here:

http://www.climatechange2013.org/ima...er02_FINAL.pdf

Indeed they state the over this short period the trend (0.04 to 0.11 degrees to be accurate) has slowed, it is however still positive.

They also state:

"Even with this “hiatus” in global mean surface temperature trend, the decade of the 2000s has been the warmest in the instrumental record of global mean surface temperature"

Further, the IPCC report has high confidence that with further increases of greenhouses gasses, falls in aerosols, higher solar forcing will see this slowing/hiatus disappear in the near term (the oceans can only suck up so much).

As for the "boring" Sun.... I'll soon post my H-alpha system's view of today's anything but quiescent sun.
