Don,
This is a good time to remind everyone of the difference between climate and weather. No climate model will predict the weather for any month. One monthly fluctuation says nothing about climate.
You say you don't trust any global climate model. I recently summarized the oceanic data that showed rather convincingly independent from any of the global climate models that we have an anthropogenic source of doubling of atmospheric carbon and that the equilibrium global temperature is about 3C warmer than we have it today. Skepticism of models is no longer an excuse for being a GW skeptic.

How much more convincing it would have been for the GW case if one or more of the "20000 climate scientists who affirm anthropogenic GW" would have predicted this temperature drop and notified the public that it was about to happen. Did anyone do so? If one or more climate models actually predicted this, then the public case for anthropogenic GW as a serious development is strengthened. Explaining the drop afterwards provides no support for those models; and the entire case for changing our lives and the economy in order to halt GW rests on predictions from those models.
