Analysis on 16 year ‘pause’ in global warming: ‘Regarding the significance of the period from 1997, recall that Dr. Ben Santer claimed 17 years was the period needed’
'They find that tropospheric temperature records must be at least 17 years long to discriminate between internal climate noise and the signal of human-caused changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere.'
MIT Professor Richard Lindzen said something similar in a WUWT guest post: 'There has been no warming since 1997 and no statistically significant warming since 1995.'
