So how does this fit in with all the predictions?: "No global warming for 15 years"

From the Global Warming Policy Foundation:

The graph shows the global annual average temperature since 1997. No statistically significant trend can be discerned from the data. The only statistically acceptable conclusion to be drawn from the HadCRUT4 data is that between 1997 – 2011 it has remained constant, with a global temperature of 14.44 +/- 0.16 deg C (2 standard deviations.) . . .

I am sure that a lot of predictions can be pointed to.

In June 1986, Dr. James Hansen made a prediction to an AP newspaper reporter, which was carried in Oxnard, CA, of a 2 degree temperature rise by 2006. . . .

Temperatures did rise, but they rose by about 0.4 degrees.
