The following is a short version of the litany of global warming denialists' current rhetoric:
- "Current pause in global warming"
- "lack of global warming for well over 10 years now."
- "There is no credible (statistically significant) data that says global warming is occurring"
- "fifteen years of warming, then fifteen of cooling"

- "Forget global warming...no warming in 15 years."
