So, this stable temperature phase that we're sort of in right now was predicted in 2007 in the journal Science. It also predicted rapid warming after 2009, concurrent with el nino, ... which has now officially formed in the pacific.
Global warming will step up after 2009: scientists
Thu Aug 9, 2007 2:13pm EDT
In research published in the journal Science, Smith and his colleagues predicted that the next three or four years would show little warming despite an overall forecast that saw warming over the decade.

The real heat will start after 2009, they said.
Until then, the natural forces will offset the expected warming caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, which releases the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.

Should be interesting to see what effects this has on 2010 and 2012 political races, if weather heats up and some politicians claim we shouldn't do anything about it.
Enough of this hoax already. FYI -until the global warming liars showed up, it was well accepted REALITY among scientists that determining REAL major climate change (with the exception of periods involving sharply increased volcanic activity) could NOT be done over the course of a few years AS IT WAS BEING EXPERIENCED -or over the course of a few decades or even over the course of a few hundred years. But required three to five THOUSAND years in RETROSPECT to be able to accurately identify any REAL change from the WIDELY and often EXTREME fluctuations in temperatures that occur as part of earth's NORMAL weather pattern at any given time. Temperature changes over the course of a few decades are MEANINGLESS because major climate change doesn't happen in a few decades (only exception again is sharply increased volcanic activity combined with a drop in solar radiation exposure -and DARN that isn't man-made so it can't count!) - but over the course of many THOUSANDS of years. DURING that time, temperatures will still widely fluctuate as part of NORMAL variations and fluctuations even from year to year. Which is why a REAL pattern of change cannot be identified on the basis of a few years or decades!
We cannot reliably predict the weather more than five days out or so and THAT includes temperatures. We do not know why the earth entered or left ANY ice age. Not one. So this PRETENSE that we know all there is to know about climate change NOW is a MASSIVe LIE. So you want to offer up a piece of lying ass crap pretending it can reliably predict temperatures and climate a few years from now? Are you serious? Well here are some other interesting sites and predictions as well -more recently made too.
New ice age coming?

Global warming phony:
Chattanooga Times Free Press | Phony 'global warming'
Emails exchanged among these LYING ASS scam artist "scientists":
* scientist at the university admits using a "trick" to "hide the decline" in recent world temperatures.
* In another e-mail, a U.S. climatologist, addressing recent temperature declines, wrote, "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."
* Some e-mail suggested ways that believers in global warming could destroy the scientific reputation of Dr. Patrick Michaels, a climatologist who is skeptical about some claims surrounding global warming. (Note -LEGITIMATE science doesn't require the equivalent of religious belief.)
* Others sought ways to ensure that dissenting voices would be kept out of a U.N. report faulting mankind for warming. Some even talked about how to keep skeptical writers' work out of scientific journals -- yet the skeptics are routinely condemned for not publishing enough articles in those journals!
And a scientific challenge to the phony-ass doctored up Michael Mann chart pretending to show a sharp rise in temperatures that was immediately and is STILL challenged by thousands of scientists as totally INACCURATE, MISLEADING and FALSE -but still used by global warming liars.
