I really wanted to caption this Hell to Freeze Over

Global warming will stop until at least 2015 because of natural variations in the climate, scientists have said.
Researchers studying long-term changes in sea temperatures said they now expect a "lull" for up to a decade while natural variations in climate cancel out the increases caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
no suggestion that the IPCC might just be wrong about the connection of CO2 and recent global warming
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Gore in '16. I like the sound of that. Gives me a little time to write a few more documentaries, stage plays, grunge albums, and puppet shows about global warming before I make my triumphant comeback to save the world and coast into the White House! Sweet!

Actually, it's 2015 if you believe the Aztecs (or is it the Mayans?)
Don't worry. In five years you will hear the media and whoever else start clamoring about another Ice Age coming. There will always be another hysteria just over the horizon.

The Mayan "long count" calendar starts over again on December 21, 2012. That should mean the beginning of the 5th world. Humans were introduced in the 4th world and the Mayan gods might be looking to try again.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Hey! I don't want any trifles like asteroids, earthquakes or other cataclysimic apolcolyptic scenarios ruining my 8th birthday party! If the Four Horsemen are coming, they better be bringing expensive presents or I'll hold my breath until I turn blue.....
