Who are 'most"? I challenge your assumption.

No need to apologise. I just wonder how many more years of no warming have to occur before the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis gets a critical look.

fingerprinting:

http://www.climatescience.gov/Lib...inalreport/sap1-1-final-chap5.pdf

page 18 (116) fig 5.3

Four independent models agree about the following fingerprints:

(1) that significant warming occurred around the equator at an altitude of 8 and 12km, (2) that at the altitude of 16km there exists a transition from warm to cool, (3) that there is some warming in lower levels in the SH and arctic (45o-75o S).

And now for reality:

(1) Cooling at 4km and no significant warming, (2) transition from warming to cooling at 12km, (3) SH cooling while majority of models show warming.

Other examples exist.
