What Global Warming?

Chris Trotter has called for "total war" against global warming, and insults those who wish to debate climate science by calling them "quislings".
What global warming? There has been no increase in global average temperature since the peak of 1998, and the very cold winter in the Northern Hemisphere has confirmed that this up-trend has ended.
Every month that goes by in which the 1998 peak is not exceeded brings the global warming theory into greater doubt. Some scientists are predicting that the world will suffer extremely cold temperatures over the next 30 years, based on the the current very low level of solar activity. They recommend an increase carbon-dioxide emissions to moderate this cooling.
