Why do you think although the global temp keeps going up but the deniers can't comprehend it?
They blame it on the sun or claim there is no warming or that CO2 doesn't cause warming Wh.at a crock Smarten up about CO2 4 part series

graphicconception These videos are based on real climate science, not denier bullsh*t
Kano You keep missing the point. IPCC mentions surface temp pause, not AGW pause GW is a combination of surface and ocean temps AGW is still warming Earth, in fact one of the people who talks about the surface pause says the planet is still warming a minimum of 0.12C every year
Ian no offense, but you are about as aware of AGW as a bump on a log How droll

Sagebrush If you look closely at what Phil said you will see he said no statistically significant warming He said that it was warming a minimum of 0,12C per year and that there was indeed warming Keep on posting warmist links

I can't comprehend why Kano can't comprehend the difference between surface measurements and the heat content of the system nor can I comprehend why he does not understand that if energy enters a system and does not exit the system it will provide heat to that system in one form or another. I also can't comprehend why Wag complains about youtube videos when people that think as he does do nothing but post youtube videos or blog posts while, on the off chance they do post peer reviewed studies, those studies are most often taken out-of-context. And then there is Ian with his constant ranting and misunderstanding.
You also gotta love how graphicconception always posts the same graph when speaking about GLOBAL warming yet the graph only deals with a Greenland ice core, the graph stops 95 years before the present date prior to the recent warming andhe's only taking 12 years of surface data measurements when surface data measurements are usually taken at 30 year intervals to find a climate trend,.
That being said, yes there is a pause. However that pause only exists in surface and lower tropospheric measurements and it is dependent on what data set you look at. There is no 'pause' in the energy balance of the system and that is what matters. Surface measurements, while important, do not indicate the total energy within the system
I think there are a lot of variables that are hard for some people to grasp, and when the media tries to put it in layman's terms it is all too often sensationalized, the headlines blare out something alarming, and you have to really sort through information from several sources to get the most objective and thorough outlook. I also think that average global temperatures are hard to relate to because the overall average might not be increasing much decade to decade but regional variations could be substantial. Whether or not the weather "extremes" are AGW related or not is an unanswered question. That outlook would be skepticism rather than denial; I think honest questions about science-even if couched in aggressive terms-constitutes skepticism. Deliberately misinterpreting the evidence presented or arguing science with political rationales can tip the presenter over the edge into denial...and of course, people who are in denial are not cognizant of it as such, so they usually object if they are called on it...if not directly, indirectly.
One thing that I am increasingly interested in is accuracy of temperature measurements and what kind of monitoring we have done over and beneath the oceans and large bodies of water. Plus I am interested in how methods of measuring temperature that have changed due to improving technology are reconciled with their less accurate predecessors. I'm also wondering how science determined that the 'missing heat' that was being talked about a while back was going into the oceans...was this something science already knew in theory but was an element of climate change that had not been confirmed or explained? Seems like the explanation was rather abrupt, surely it isn't something that was suddenly discovered or realized, although the concept isn't something the general public would be immediately aware of.
They are incapable of comprehending the objective reality and science of AGW because they allow their feelings to control their thinking. It is the inability to separate their emotions from the facts that makes them Deniers.
