Let's also take a look at the recent temperature data that you claim implies that global warming is over. First this means that you recognize that global warming is a fact (or was). Apparently several decades of fast warming really was enough to convince you. Well, that and some other stuff is convincing. But for a few years, it has not been happening, at least according to the data you linked to. Is this enough to mean anything? No, it is not surprising if the various effects add up in such a way as to produce no significant change for a while, especially at some particular sites. It took many years of increase to convince you that warming was happening; so it should take just as many of cooling to convince you that it is not happening.
