Most climatologists, geophysicists, and atmospheric scientists agree that the world has been warming since the 1970's. The debate over how much, where, and how is all over the map, and of course the debate over what we can do, if we should, and would it matter is also all over the map. Previously, I had remarked on how the art record being used as a paleoclimate proxy was a little ridiculous, but maybe some new data can change my mind.
Those bikinis have been getting smaller and smaller since the 1960's, and I see no trend showing that they'll get bigger anytime soon. So, this current flat temperature trend since 1998 is just a hiccup before things get really hot! Of course, that means we really need to do something, but if you're not advocating the death of 2.5 billion people, then I'll know you're not really being serious about reducing anthropogenic carbon emissions by 50 percent.
