All of those points can be countered with examples that contradict the expectations -- eg., increasing ice in the Antarctic.

And, of course, there were the predictions that went well beyond being spectacularly wrong and veered into the completely preposterous.
Two of my favourites are Dr. David Viner (of the University of East Anglia) predicting in 2000 that children living in the U.K. today "just aren't going to know what snow is" (
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/snowfalls-are-now-just-a-thing-of-the-past-724017.html) and the IPCC making international headlines with its prediction that the Himalayan glaciers will disappear by 2035 (
http://www.nytimes.com/cwire/2010/0...ience-panel-apologizes-for-himalay-25267.html) -- a fairy-tale claim that the IPCC spent more than two years defending.
As well, there were the predictions of an ice-free summer in the Arctic by 2013, worsening hurricanes and cyclones, etc. Detailed lists of all of the erroneous predictions can be found online.
Personally, I don't bother with this stuff because there's no way to test whether any of it can be scientifically linked to man-made greenhouse gases. Sometimes the guesses are right. Sometimes the guesses are wrong. That's just random guessing.
Predictions of how man-made greenhouse gases will affect the Earth's temperature are more quantifiable and can be more clearly measured. And as I keep saying, the observed data confirm the predictions have been spectacularly wrong.
As for the fact that the "pause" has only existed for somewhere between 15 to 19 years, I don't dispute that. I made my point about the pause to address the erroneous assertion that the warming of the planet has continued.
As I have said many times before, I am less concerned about whether there has been a "pause," a "slowdown," or a minuscule change of 2/100s or 3/100s of a degree Celsius, as Groggy likes to talk about.
To me, the key point is that the predictions of how man-made greenhouse gases would affect the Earth's temperature have been completely wrong. That remains true even if you believe there was a microscopic change of 2/100ths or 3/100ths of a degree for the entire planet over the past nine years.
Since the predictions have been spectacularly wrong, the hypothesis of AGW is in doubt.
