If the 2005-2008 cooling trend continues for another few years, how fast

[SolomonKalou]

will opinion shift away from AGW?
Is a rapid exodus from the global warming bandwagon what believers fear most?

Is that why they have come up with candidate explanations such as global dimming, it'll resume warming soon enough, it really is still warming - just not where you or anyone you know lives, it's really "climate change," look at the five - I mean ten - I mean fifteen - year average, global dimming is masking global warming, etc?

Since these explanations all contradict each other, do you think they ought to huddle up (no pun intended) and settle on one of them soon?
Or are they trying to discern which explanation fools the most people?

Judging by the answers by the AGW propagandists on this site, not soon enough or possibly NEVER!
Even in the next few years, while they are huddled in blankets in front of the fire, they will still be muttering under their breaths, ''it is warming, I know it is, Al Gore and a bunch of government funded scientists with an agenda, told me so! it is warming, it is, it is! jeez! why is it so COLD!''
Actually, I may be wrong! they probably wont have any fires to huddle in front of! being as how they will be banned for causing GW!
Al Gore! and the IPCC few, what a bunch of liars!
Personally, I never listen to scientists who have an agenda, i.e. the IPCC few, who, having been given loads of money, are then told, ''now go out and PROVE that it's Humans who cause GW, and while you're at it, prove GW!
Rather, I listen to SCIENTISTS! you know!, those people who take a scientific approach to a question, like ''is there GW?'' and if so, ''what is it caused by?''.
And I know what they say!
