"Scientists say the pattern of the last decade — after a precipitous rise in average global temperatures in the 1990s — is a result of cyclical variations in ocean conditions and has no bearing on the long-term warming effects of greenhouse gases building up in the atmosphere.

But trying to communicate such scientific nuances to the public — and to policy makers — can be frustrating, they say."

No kidding!

There is no question that warming is the overwhelming scientific consensus, and I've spoken personally with a Nobel winning scientist (a former professor of mine), and he is very concerned - and he isn't prone to exaggeration. We are definitely facing a serious problem.

I consider climate change to be a global IQ test - and I tend to be an optimist, so I think we will pass. But I don't bother engaging the deniers.

As you noted in an earlier post, the important discussion is about the solutions.
