It seems that runaway man-made warming will actually take a break for
perhaps 15 years:
Global temperatures will drop slightly this year due to the cooling
effect of the La Nina current in the Pacific, UN meteorologists have
said.
The World Meteorological Organization's secretary-general, Michel
Jarraud, told the BBC it was likely that La Nina would continue into the
summer. This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998,
prompting some to question climate change theory. But experts say we are
still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and they forecast a new
record high temperature within five years.
Maybe. But if there isn't one then?

"Attributing global climate change to human CO2 production is akin to
trying to diagnose an automotive problem by ignoring the engine
(analogous to the Sun in the climate system) and the transmission (water
vapour) and instead focusing entirely, not on one nut on a rear wheel,
which would be analogous to total CO2, but on one thread on that nut,
which represents the human contribution." Dr. Timothy Ball, Chairman of
