Yes, the Physics therein probably does.

I know I said I was done....and my apologies for this last post:

You said: "in the late 1990s, the earth's temperature has entered a pause, a hiatus - has failed to increase"

I said: "Utter rubbish"

You rebutted: saying " the temperature hasn't risen or fallen", quoting the IPCC 5th Assessment Report.

I said and quoted the same IPCC report: " the temperature has gone up best case 0.04 degrees per decade, most likely case 0.78 degrees per decade"

Your said: "0.04 per decade is statistically insignificant"

I said: "0.04 (a POSITIVE number) is not zero", and with a little arithmetic showed what temperatures that sort of warming number generates in the future.

But, to cut through the cr@p:

0.04 does not equal zero.

You can hold your breath and turn blue.

It still won't equal zero. Hence to say so is rubbish.
