Your comments about a recent inactive hurricane season have been proven wrong since last year a record two category 5 hurricanes made landfall in 2007 .... Also, please think globally. China, Japan and Australia were all hit by typhoons and cyclones last year. The global weather pattens are becoming very aggressive around the globe. Climate change is here and if nothing is done it will get worse.

Nonsence. Look at the history of hurrican records and you will see we have had cat 5 hurricanes for centuries. Go to worlclimatereport[dot]com and search hurricanes. The IPCC said itself that there is no global warming signal in the hurricane record.

I like the cockatoo in the background!

And that is EXACTLY what some climatologists are now predicting. I have several new papers that suggest we are headed into a new mini-ice age. Additional greehouse gasses? Most significant is water vapour.

Show me the refs. What do you mean "so far" as "so far" the "hotest temp is still 1934. I have the references to back that up. So how come the guys are realclimate admit it's been flat since 1998?

Do you doubt anything I said about green house gases or do you want to continue to change the subject? I have no doubt the sun cycle has an impact on the temperatures, but it doesn't explain the entire temperature change. If you're argument is true, then we should be cooling rather than flattening out.

[PhxFlyr]

It has changed - no doubt about it. I can read charts fairly well (I make a living out of it) and I see changes in temperatures. The hottest year on record thus far? 2005

I would expect to see up and downs, but on an average, the temperatures are without a doubt trending upwards. So, are you going to answer the original question or change the subject?

[jrwakefield]

Then how come your friends at RealClimate have admited it has not changed, and if it continues to not change for the next 5 years they will have to "rethink" their whole climate model?

[jrwakefield]

So why has the temp not increased since 1998 even though CO2 has continued to increase? It's stopped increasing just as the sun went into a new cycle.

[PhxFlyr]

Um, nope - I am afraid that is not the case. There is a recored rise in temperatures since 1998, though at a slower rate than before, but still a noticeable upward trend.
