editec, it is pretty obvious what is happening.
The sun is at its lowest level of activity in 80 years, and this is counteracting the influence of increasing atmospheric CO2 by 40%. The sun's activity level will now rise as it moves toward the peak of its cycle in 2013. Meanwhile, methane trapped in the arctic is beginning to be released as the arctic ice melts. This methane could increase tempertures even more because methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.
Except for the whole Man Made Global Warming claims that the SUN had nothing to do with the warming, BUT now, it has something to do with cooling? Can not have it BOTH ways dumb ass.
