The IPCC report comes as environment ministers prepare for the 3-14 December Bali talks, where they will be asked to agree a two-year 'roadmap' of negotiations for accelerating cuts in greenhouse gases. On current trends, it says, surging emissions of greenhouse gases will relentlessly warm earth's atmosphere, damaging ice and snow cover and causing the oceans to expand and thus rise. The impacts could be "abrupt or irreversible". In such a scenario, humans would face wide-ranging misery in the form of crop failure, storm damage and ill health as drought, floods, cyclones, mosquito pests and water-borne disease become more frequent or intensive, it adds.

The temps in NASA GISS show flat or dropping temp 'VariationS' in two significant periods - first from about the high of 1998 to present, the temp increases are dropping (meaning the increasing temps have peaked and are coming downward). Second - the period from 2002 to present is flat at best meaning while CO2 has continued to increase at a steady rate, temp increases are falling - showing a significant 'separation' between CO2 and Temps. Very significant to AGW.
ScienceNews "These same methane clathrates are present today in the Arctic permafrost as well as below sea level, and remain dormant until triggered by warming. "This is a major concern because it's possible that only a little warming can unleash this trapped methane. Unzippering the methane reservoir could warm the Earth TENS OF DEGREES, and the mechanism could be geologically very rapid."

Ha, scratch that. I just saw "PhD candidate" JonThm say the cooling started in 05! He must think the earth is cooling like every 7 years. While the whole time it's trending up steeply.
Seriously people, if you've never seen a graph of measured data points, don't pretend to know anything about science. Go back to your Noah's Ark stories and leave the data interpretations to the leaders in the field: NAS USGS IPCC and NASA
The ten warmest years all occur within the 12-year period of 1997-2008.
Those that say there's a cooling trend always pick 1998 as the starting point. Why? because that was a huge el nino year with a big spike in temp. If they picked any another year (97 or 99) the trend would disappear. That's called cherry picking.
And 2005 was still hotter than 97 even though we are still in the cooler la nina phase. El nino wont return till next year.
Google NASA GISS. That's the raw data. Go to the data summary page for 2008. Read it.
See how on the chart the data points go up and down, but the trend is rapidly going up? Every down spike some idiot could come along and say "Hey the warming stopped."
Those are the long term cycles. The short ones are 4 and 7 years, giving a 28 grose cycle. This was from my PhD at Sheffield University. Couldn't you get int oa GOOD university?
Those cycles have virtually no relevant impact to climate change over the next 100 years. I will take the opinion of the 450 lead authors of the IPCC over your reckoning

How people kill in Africa,Etiopia....
Welcome 4 Reich.
In XXI Century, all are problems,when only should be solution.
A love humanity
