Sadly, just not true.
the reason the deniers side has caught hold and moved forward is because a small number of smart kids were smart enough to pick their way through all of the shit from Hansen, CRU and all the rest - and find significant problems with the maths.
Top of the heap of smart kids and the one with the tenacity to actually force the true believers to hand over their data was Steve Macintyre
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_McIntyre. so far, his maths stands up.
But if you have specific issues with his linear regression analysis, then fire away.
Now ask yourself why despite being mentioned hundreds of times in the climategate emails and being the source of the denied FOI requests, not one single "inquiry" talked to him, let alone called him as a witness. I would say that reason is because he is one of the few people in the world who could actually ask the really embarrassing numbers based questions the warmists would struggle answer.
And as for it being about the UK - no it's cold in lots of places and has been all year - Mongolians are having yet another terrible winter with their livestock freezing to death, despite being cold adapted. Fish in south american rivers died of cold over the summer, and there's been unprecedented snow in bits of the southern hemisphere during their summer. google your own links to these stories, they aren't hard to confirm.
Antarctic ice continues to be inconveniently high

We may well be wrong in our thought that AGW isn't happening, but its not because we're spoonfed dolts, it's because we can follow the maths and something doesn't add up. Rubbish the sums if you can, but don't treat us idiots, because we are not.
