There is an old saying..what goes up, must come down...
I am MUCH more concerned about global cooling than global warming. We are at about the highest temperatures ever observed but we can be a LOT colder.

You will be able to find somebody who says this cooling is caused by global warming.
Noooooooo! This can't be! What about man-made global warming melting all the icecaps and increasing the ocean's temperature to BOILING, which we know is what's going to happen?!?!?
Ahh, but algore tells us that the scurge of global warming is upon us!
I predict in two weeks we'll see a report from Hansen at NASA. Noting worldwide glaciers are both retreating and advancing, and both can be attributed to global warming, he will prove with graphs and selected proxies that oceans are cooling from the cool water of retreating glaicers AND the ice from advancing glaciers breaking off and cooling the oceans like ice cubes in your glass.
Proven, global warming causes global ocean cooling.
It seems to me that global warming (if it ever really happens) is a much easier problem to solve scientifically than global cooling and another ice age. Global warming could be solved by a number of methods that simply reflect some sunlight back into space. Installation of snow-making equipment in some fairly large areas that have cold winters but not much snow could solve the problem right there. Snow pack reflects sunlight back into space. On the other hand, there's not a single thing we can do to stop global cooling: just bundle up, stay indoors and try to survive the cold weather and high food prices.
Melting polar ice cooling the water?

Someone please post the "Damn, Just Damn" photo
The missing heat is all of that hot air coming out of Algore's mouth.
"You will be able to find somebody who says this cooling is caused by global warming."
See my #6.
How about rising ocean levels lead to increased surface area, which in turn leads to increased evaporation and cooling.
The oceans have a very complex pattern of shallow and deep currents. Three years is an eye blink. Some cold slow deep currents hold water for thousands of years.
And don't forget that today AlGore announced that smoking cigarettes and cigars also adds to global warming.
I have always found that particular chart to be quite frightening.
He actually already did. He said it's now the warmest in 1M years. The report was slapped together as if by a madman. Maybe he has truly lost it.
"Rove!!!!!!"
Lower incident solar flux due to dust and aerosols produced by the PRC, lower solar output, and more heat sent into space by tropical thunderstorms.
Algore stole it.
Manbearpig!
