What's your reaction to the data that shows a lack of warming over the past 17-years?

My main issue with it is that the people on the warmist side of the debate completely failed to predict it. Which is pretty good evidence that their thinking and their computer models are wrong. And yet, as far as they know, they continue to insist that their thinking and computer models are fundamentally sound. It seems to me like a class case of groupthink, self-serving bias, etc.
