Gotta love how the reporter throws "temporary" in as if its fact. The decade long "slowdown" could go another decade and they'd still be calling it "temporary." Heck, it could go a hundred years and they'd still call it "temporary" if they still had a chance of using Global Warming to fleece taxpayers of more money.
Okay. This one deserves a lifting to see what it sounds like in other spheres of life.
"A temporary, 10-year slowdown in company profits..."
"A temporary, 10-year slowdown in my grades..."
"A temporary, 10-year slowdown in the stock..."
The global-warming crew are largely salespeople. They land the sales, they get the grants. That's why we didn't hear that there "could" be a "temporary, 10-year slowdown [i.e., no statistically significant warming at all] when we were pushed to "Sign up NOW!" ten years ago.
Now, they're acting like whole-life insurance salespeople who've already gotten their hands on the commisssion. "All right, so there's been a ten-year slowdown [sic]. So I didn't tell you about it ten years ago. You're in anyways. Why bring it up? Excuse me, I've got a call to make..."
Everything in God's creation is temporary; only the time scales vary.
