The sun spot minimum is going to cause cooling and CNN is not mentioning it.

It already is causing cooling, especially in the North Atlantic. Real scientists (as opposed to the politically motivated AGW crowd) have noticed this cooling and are concerned.

The reality is that a slightly warmer planet would be a GOOD thing. A colder planet is a BAD thing. Example: Some decent analysis shows that a cooling period helped precipitate the Dark Ages, and moving out of that cooling period helped precipitate the Renaissance.
