The 1975 - 1998 warming trend was caused by increased CO2 in the atmosphere. That is settled science. Why has the trend not continued with even greater concentrations? Where are the rising sea levels? Have they gone up even six inches in the last ten years? On a less combative note, last week I took a trip through Iowa, South Dakota and Montana. There's a lot of wind power up and running and more coming in this region. The wind turbines are a magnificent sight from the highway. Joe,

That '1998' canard was refuted and put to rest long ago. Why do denialists keep recycling it? Oh yes: because that's all they have. Never mind. Joe, one caution we should take is this is a single paper. I'd like to see some more confirmation before it is trumpeted all over the place. Of course it makes sense and may be robust, but more careful wording plz. Best, D Fer chrissake. That ‘1998′ canard was refuted and put to rest long ago. Why do denialists keep recycling it?

A fact is the truth. The fact is 1998 represents the high point in global warming. A prominent climatologist recently said the warming won't restart until 2010. We'll soon see if it does. Dano,
