From the e-mails stolen from UEA:
"The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't"
That was written by this very same Kevin Trenberth, and although Fred Pearce of the Guardian has covered 'climategate' very well

... this article, by David Adam, omits the crucial fact that THIS is the travesty Trenberth mentioned, and this is why he considers it a travesty:

"Missing" heat may affect future climate change
April 15, 2010
BOULDER—Current observational tools cannot account for roughly half of the heat that is believed to have built up on Earth in recent years, according to a “Perspectives” article in this week’s issue of Science. Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) warn in the new study that satellite sensors, ocean floats, and other instruments are inadequate to track this “missing” heat, which may be building up in the deep oceans or elsewhere in the climate system.
“The heat will come back to haunt us sooner or later,” says NCAR scientist Kevin Trenberth, the lead author. “The reprieve we’ve had from warming temperatures in the last few years will not continue. It is critical to track the build-up of energy in our climate system so we can understand what is happening and predict our future climate.”
