Here is the RSS satellite data, how long has it been since we've seen any global warming --- man-made or otherwise? http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/rss/fro...
But even the HADCRUT data shows it's been cooling for at least 12 years.

Top climate scientists say there is no man-made Global Warming.
The Great Global Warming Swindle
So what is the right temperature to live in?
The planet has been warming for centuries, and not because of greenhouse gases.
The Montreal Protocol is related to ozone destroying CFCs and not global warming, though some of those chemicals also have an effect.
The Kyoto Agreement has reduced emissions in Europe while India and China have during that time more than doubled carbon emissions, and are now combined have a greater emissions than Europe and the US.
To reduce global temperature, or at least reduce the increase caused by CO2, you would have to get China, India, and the rest of the developing world to either continue to live in poverty and not increase their energy use, or get them to use carbon-free energy. Given that this energy is more expensive now, the way to get them to use it is to make it cheap enough that they would want to use it.
I guess deniers will continue to try and make absurd claim about 12-17 years of cooling how they do that when all but one of the 10 warmest years in the modern record are from the 2000's is getting comical. The warmest two individual years are 2005 and 2010 which are 9 and just 4 years ago.
The thing here is to look at the cooler years denier tried to link to everything from the end of AGW to an impending new iceage, 2008 was the cooler of the two (2011 was the other) yet 2008 was actually warmer than 1995, a year that at the time was the warmest year in the modern record.

P.S. " the Montreal Protocol" relates to Ozone depletion not climate change, it was quite successful as global Ozone levels are now well on the way to recovery.
The Rio Summit was a pulpit for Malthusian social engineers, and it was hugely successful. Out of it came the UN Climate committee. They engineered the destruction of refrigeration that was the Montreal Protocol, and any time the ozone hole wanes a little, they take credit. The Kyoto Treaty can best be characterized as on-fire when it took off, but those on board were trapped for a long and perilous ride.

What is the right temperature to live in?
What is the right amount of CO2 for our biosphere to thrive in?
How much warming will a doubling of CO2 cause? (how sensitive)
How much will it cost in money jobs GDP to even slow down the rise of CO2
Don't you think we should answer these questions first
We shouldn't reduce global temperature. We should leave global temperature alone and let nature take its course. The reason why we need to cut back on fossil fuel consumption is because we need to slow down, and eventually stop the unnatural increase in global temperature that we have been causing.
I think Maxx may pulling wool over your eyes here:
His quoted HADCRUT DATA shows an INCREASE
What is you aim here maxx?
Put a cork in Al Gore's mouth. His hot air adds to the heat and is a bunch of lies.
Nothing. Nothing humanity can do will ever change the global climate.
is the Rio summit successful?
is the Montreal Protocol successful?
is the Kyoto Agreement successful?
Global warming is caused by EXCESSIVE quantities of greenhouse gases emitted into Earth's near-surface atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are both man-made and occur naturally. Greenhouse gases are needed to keep our world at the right temperature to live in.
