The 5 - year mean global temperature has been flat for a decade

An update through 2012 of our global analysis 1(Fig. 1)
reveals 2012 as having practically the same temperature as 2011, significantly lower than the maximum reached in 2010.
These short-term global fluctuations are associated principally with natural oscillations of tropical Pacific sea surface
temperatures summarized in the Nino index in the lower part of the figure.
2012 is nominally the 9th warmest year, but it is indistinguishable in rank with several other years,
as shown by the error estimate for comparing nearby years.
 
Good ol' senile Hansen.

Global warming is based upon decades of trends, not five years. Which is why his fellow scientists are pointing their fingers at him and laughing their asses off.

Funny... fear mongers claim it is based on decades of trends, yet they only look back to the late 1800's. You have about 120 years they look at. Given that we are 15 years into a flat period, that is a significant time frame. Especially considering that we were coming out of the little ice age just as that time frame began... which would make a warming cycle a natural event. But keep on fear mongering howey.
