Wrong tense. Not was...is. The hole still exists and hasn't changed much since mid 1990's. Although natural fluctuations might cause it to shrink back to levels seen mid-century.
"If there is no global warming then why has the mean temperature of the planet increased about 1 deg C above the pre-industrial mean temperature and has been rising exponentially since the 1950s?"
1. There is global warming. The issue is how much is caused by man and how much by natural variations. A lot of the increase from pre-industrial times occurred before CO2 levels got high enough to cause any change. Therefore it was natural and was merely the earth returning to more normal levels following the Little Ice Age. Currently temperatures haven't reached those that applied around 1000AD or during the Roman Warm Period or the Minoan Warm Period.
2. I'm not sure if you know what 'exponential' means. Temperatures definitely haven't increased exponentially since 1950, or any other time for that matter.
