In the past year, two other groups of scientists--one in Germany, the second in the United States--have come to the same conclusion: Warming is on hold, likely because of a cooling of the Earth's upper oceans, but it will resume.
But how is that knowable? How can Latif and the others state with certainty that after this long and unforeseen cooling, dangerous man-made heating will resume? They failed to observe the current cooling for years after it had begun, how then can their predictions for the resumption of dangerous warming be trusted?
Maybe it is going to be a short term cooling phase but that alone would suggest that the catastrophe predicted by the Rev Al Gore is not yet nigh - and secondly that we don't have to destroy the world's economies - at least not yet - to reverse a warming that is on hold.
