Do I detect a slight cooling in the air?

Hi Alan. Thanks for that. It's actually a good article, the basic gist
of which I agree with. Last year, the Hadley Centre released a
prediction from their own model saying that GW may stall for few years
before picking up again. Neither Latif's model, not the Hadley
Centre's model says that GW is at an end because of graphs that start
at the peak of the largest El Nino of modern times in 1998.
If this is correct then we have quite a few years before
'catastrophic' global warming occurs. We have a whole new generation
of young children being brainwashed in schools to believe that man
made global warming is a 'fact'. These children will become adults and
will accept that man must not pollute the planet and try to reduce CO2
emissions. In itself a good thing. Up until then it's about time that
the current generation of adults realise that vested interests are
running the agenda. People like Gore are making millions out of
'global warming'. Politicians should start to think about the policies
they sign up to. These children will grow up into a world that has
been destroyed not by global warming but by ill thought out ideas by
'do-gooders' , greens and greedy politicians.
No agenda there then. That's just a rant.
Like I said, neither set of scientists in the article is saying that
GW (and probably AGW) will not happen. If I had to choose which model
to believe, I'd go for the Hadley Centre's predictions, though
temperatures through the La Nina, the current solar minimum and this
El Nino are showing no signs of cooling whatsoever and one might well
expect cooling to have already happened. The Hadley Centre have more
experience and have developed their models much further, using land
based, as well as ocean temperatures in their predictions.
A generation of schoolchildren are being educated far better than ever
before about sustainability and climate change is a part of that
education. You haven't been in a classroom recently have you, or you'd
retract the "brainwashing" rubbish immediately.
It's about time that the "current generation of adults", together with
Industry and others and yes; led by the scientists and politicians,
really began to change their (our) approach to how we view the future,
as the likelihood is that we will leave our descendents enormous
problems to deal with in terms of climate change through our actions.
Sensibly, that is already beginning to happen and you and your ilk are
not being listened to, Peter. I think you and your fellow denialists
would do well to think more clearly about the climate future than you
are and base your actions on climate likelihoods and not on what you,
personally, feel will happen.
