Nobody as madly stubborn than lefties (Gillard's suckettes!)
I've heard Prof. Bob Carter, Prof. Plimer, other eminents say that leftards aren't telling the truth. There has not been any warming for 17 years.
If you heard Prof. Bob Carter, Prof. Plimer say there has not been any warming for 17 years, then they are wrong. And you probably should stop listening to Alan Jones or wherever you may have heard that crap.
THere has been warming for the past 17 years. it is clear and unambiguous.
The oceans are warming.
Glaciers are melting
The arctic ice cap is melting
The troposphere is warming
And in every single one of the past 17 years, the surface temperature has been higher than the long term average.
The earth is warming.

Last summer we had about 5 hot days, 3 of which were record-breaking. Other days had lower than average temperatures. My daughter and I switched on our air conditioner for three of these days and were (economically) tolerant during the other days.
Yes - last summer was impacted by La Nina, which makes it cooler than normal.
However - even though last summer was a La Nina year - it was sill the 11th warmest summer on record.
