The international media reports that "Global warming could take a break in the next decade thanks to a natural shift in ocean circulations, although Earth's temperature will rise as previously expected over the longer term, according to a study published in the British journal Nature." The report is no doubt a convenient lie, as in ten years, who will remember?

When you dig a hole... how to get out of it? It is becoming ever more clear that the "unity" that allegedly exists within the world of scientists about the "truth" that is supposedly global warming, is about to burst. The "facts" are becoming ever more disputed, and rather than let the myth evaporate, a convenient lie is created, which now can explain that all this new evidence that there is no global warming, is indeed true - but that - somehow - global warming will continue, though not within the next decade.

Climate scientists in Germany base the prediction on an impending change in the Gulf Stream - the conveyor belt that transports warm surface water from the tropical Atlantic to the northern Atlantic and returns cold water southwards at depth. The Gulf Stream will temporarily weaken over the next decade, in line with what has happened regularly in the past, the researchers say.
This will lead to slightly cooler temperatures in the North Atlantic and in North America and Europe, and also help the temperatures in the tropical Pacific to remain stable.
This report is thus cutting into the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which in 2007 said that by 2100, global average surface temperatures could rise by between 1.1 C and 6.4 C (1.98 and 11.52 F) compared to 1980-99 levels. Note the "could". Also, it claimed that in the next 20 years alone, the global climate would warm by around 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade, a prediction which is now countered by the German climate scientists' team.

Still - of course - the authors of the new study stress that they do not dispute the IPCC's figures. "Just to make things clear, we are not stating that anthropogenic [man-made] climate change won't be as bad as previously thought," said Mojib Latif, a professor at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in Kiel, northern Germany.
"What we are saying is that on top of the warming trend, there is a long-periodic oscillation that will probably lead to a lower temperature increase than we would expect from the current trend during the next years."
Fellow author Johann Jungclaus of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, likened the trend to "driving from the coast to a mountainous area and crossing some hills and valleys before you reach the top."
In some years, the natural long-term variation in ocean circulation would work in the other direction, temporarily pushing on the warming accelerator, Jungclaus added.
