Skeptics enjoy: from 1999 to 2009, by the same measurements that show a large amount of global warming between 1880 and 1999, there has been little to no global warming between 1999 and 2009.



The most commonly-asserted reason for this: the sun has been rather dormant during this period, with fewer sunspots than usual.

During this period, the amount of GW gases in the environment has increased a good amount.

Whether this is a temporary vacation from GW, a natural reaction to GW, or the permanent end to GW is probably a factor of your own narrative on the subject.
