What will Warmists say in 2014 when it is still no warmer?
Thousands of warmist sites including the WWF state"the world has just five years to initiate a low carbon industrial revolution before runaway climate change becomes almost inevitable." Given they said similar things abot 2010 back in 2005, what will they say if there is still no sign of AGW by 2014?
I'm picking it will be something like "the world has just five years to initiate a low carbon industrial revolution before runaway climate change becomes almost inevitable! We mean it this time!"
I am prepared to bet that like the last 12 years, the next five will show no statistically significant warming unless there is an increase in sunspot activity as occurred between 1975 and 1998.
I have children and am hopeful that once governments start fixing real problems rather than the illusory AGW, the future will be bright.

What will deniers say in 2014, when it *is* warmer? Or are you willing to say that on your model, that can't happen, so if it does your model is wrong?
(And to take up your challenge; if the ten years including 2014 are NOT warmer on average than the ten years preceding them, and there is no clear reason for this such as massive volcanic activity, I will certainly have to re-examine my present opinion that AGW is real and serious. Believe you me, I would be delighted to do so. I have grandchildren)

They will say
1) we only have four more years before runaway climate change kills the planet or
2) See, our work to reduce CO2 has stoped the planet from warming.
It's a smoke and mirrors type of science where each prediction will come to fruition no matter what they say as they cover all the bases.

Warmers say everything has to do with global warming.......man can not control mother nature.
but politicians can figure out a way to tax us because of it.

They'll say the same thing they always do: They'll call you a "denier" and insist that we still have just a little bit more time to change the weather by raising taxes and sending your money to the ghetto countries.

the global temperatures will then, as they do now and have in the past, match up with theoretical predictions.
climate realists will say exactly what they are saying now, and have been saying since at least the 1950s: Warming. (And that includes the 1970s, when man made, air borne particulate matter was not as regulated as it is today, and it might have led to global dimming had nothing been done, even then, the vast majority of scientists predicted warming).

They will point to the climate modelers that have predicted no more warming for ten years and say, "we knew it all along, and the climate models predicted that"

Dana and Bob will insist that it's still warming.
Many others will insist that "it's really climate change" and we're dummies for thinking that "global warming" meant "the planet has a fever."

Do you have some phobia about reading / citing real scientific sources? You're probably afraid the truth might interfere with you political agenda, huh?

They will make something up, same as always.

They will provide their altered data and continue to call us names, like children do!
