That might be true, but at least he doesn't look as stupid as the people that believe three contradictory explanations for the lull at the same time.
One says that El Nino induced at peak in warming, and that the current lull is actually an increase because there was no drop after the spike in the 1970s.

Then we have this thread, which says that it is the result of coverage bias. and that, if we ignore the actual data, there has been an increase.

Then we have my personal favorite, the stadium wave theory.
?Stadium Waves? Could Explain Lull In Global Warming
Yet I am a denier because I see the different theories, and refuse to accept whichever paper some idiot stumbles over.
There is nobody with any scientific background that denies AGW.
All of the science now is going into when and how will the energy that is here, caused GHGs, going to manifest itself in what it must, higher climactic temperatures.
There are plenty of people with a scientific background that question the hoopla surrounding climate change, anyone that says otherwise is an idiot.
Which step in the AGW process do you deny?
The chief products of combustion of fossil fuels are CO2 and H2O.
They are released into our atmosphere.
Both are greenhouse gasses. That means that their molecules absorb radiant energy of specific wave lengths.
Once a molecule becomes more energetic than its neighbors it immediately radiates the energy out in all directions.
If that encounter occurs in the atmosphere, roughly half of the energy returns to earth, and half radiates out to space.
For a body in space, radiant energy in must be balanced by radiant energy out. If more comes in than goes out, the body is warmed by the excess energy until energy balance is restored.
Which of those statements do you deny is true, and why do you think that.
