The data do NOT show a continued warming. THEY SHOW INCREASING COOLING,
WITH THE MOST RECENT DATA POINTS BEING BELOW NORMAL!!!

No. And since your graphs (below) show Earth is still warming, one
has got to wonder what the bloody hell you could possibly be lying
for.

How does it show the earth is still warming?

You can get a reasonably accurate fit of the temperature anomaly since
1979 by fitting a linear plus sinusoidal function to the data.
You get a linear trend of 0.14/decade plus a sinusoidal with a cycle of
3.73 years and half amplitude of about 0.13°c.

Right now we are on the downward swing of the sinusoidal but it will
return to a maximum in 2013-2014.

That's your linear model.

The data itself shows something different, and definitely NOT continued
warming.

You are being deliberately stupid, for reasons I cannot fathom.
The latest data -DOES- show global temperature still warming, even
when the temperature dips. If you don't understand why then you're
too stupid to breath without a coach.

It may warm again in the future

You mean it will continue to warm.

or it may not

No, global temperature will not not warm: excess atmospheric CO2
is still warming the planet.

but in the
meantime, "Latest Satellite MSU Data Show Continued Warming" is patently
false.

And yet that's exactly what the latest data shows.

Notice how Roger can't even defend his own post.

There's nothing about his post that requires defending.
