The old hockey stick projection. No change in the immediate future, but, boy, is it going to go up Real Soon Now.

(By the way, didn't NASA recant and now 1934 is the hottest year on record?

[Tzimisce]

...well it’s nice of global warming to wait until Hillary takes the White House....

IOW, far enough out that everyone will have forgotten this proclamation by the time it comes due (and doesn’t happen).

[Redbob]

Once this record cool summer is over, “global warming” will resume, eh?

(Record cool here in North Texas, anyway; it hasn’t yet hit 100 here this year)

We are all going to die!

If the following all were true, I’ll admit I’d be concerned:

1. the world really is going to heat up “dramatically” after 2009;

2. this is a man-made cause — or, at least, is more than minimally so, as opposed to being due to historically normal non-andropogenic actions (sun cycles, production of greenhouse gases by animals, plants, volcanoes); and

3. the warming will have a NET OVERALL negative effect on human quality of life.

I believe none of these things as of today. I’m open minded, but until someone convinces me of all 3, I cannot be simultaneously (1) emotionally honest and (2) worried.

made a computer model that takes into account such natural phenomena as the El Nino

Add a few hundred more variables and maybe their model will get interesting.

... So stop bothering us about the fact that nothing is happening between now and the 2008 US Presidential Elections. The Apocalypse is scheduled for right after the Inauguration.

Guesswork about the future warming or cooling trends of the Late Great Planet Earth will be about as thick as fleas at the dog pound.

Possible Catastrophism ping.

which represents a key planning horizon

Very clever...tell US that global warming is gonna really kick in UNLESS we start taking care of it now, you know with a key planning horizon (tax, tax and tax!) and then when it doesn't happen they can say "see, better keep up with that planning horizon (tax) b/c it really worked"

To make this kind of prediction, researchers at Britain's Met Office -- which deals with meteorology -- made a computer model that

A computer model. What a surprise.

Especially if Hillary becomes president.

Expect to see a Global Warming Czar...maybe even...Al Gore.

[Mikey_1962]

Liberals always think that the world is static not dynamic. Cut taxes and you will get deficits... that is until the increase in spending in capital equipment makes things cheaper and jobs are created generating MORE revenue that was lost.

They view global temperatures in the same way, static not dynamic. An increase in global temperature as always progressing, unless its just another interglacial period that will be followed by the coming ice age.

[NorCoGOP]

Climate experts have long predicted a general warming trend over the 21st century spurred by the greenhouse effect, but this new study gets more specific about what is likely to happen in the decade that started in 2005.

Are these the same scientests that predicted the worst hurricane season ever in 2006 - because Bush was President?

Any guesses on the spin machine response when they are (AGAIN) proven to be wrong?

[colorado tanker]

These guys have really drunk the Kool-Aid, jumped the shark, whatever metaphor you want. It’s not possible to forecast the weather one year out, much less ten. Unless you’re an Algoreian true believer, that is.

[longtermmemmory]

NASA did not recant, they were exposed involuntarily.

(next we find out they put the sensors inside ovens for protection)

Of course the left has a perfect way to change the climate, increase taxes and outlaw private property. That mere paperwork will instantly make climate change go away and the climate will never change again.

[EyeGuy]

A flying phalanx of climate “experts”, and “objective” high priests of science can study, model, theorize, Powerpoint, pontificate and publish on the Global Warming hoax for decades.

Good old reliable common sense says it is a steaming pile of Socialist manure.

I guarantee it.

[allmendream]

Well at least they are on record with a specific prediction, if less than two of the 5 years following 2009 are not as hot as 1998 we will know what they can do with their models and predictions. Although some of us arn’t willing to wait until 2014 to call them charlatans. They certainly arn’t waiting for their predictions to be borne out before moving forward their agenda to destroy Capitalism....ERRRRR I mean protect the earth! ;)
