Climate Myths

When I was click on very interesting google ads in my friend blog, I read about this article which tikcle my brain. Its about the weather. According to scientis, when people right now gosiping about global warming, the climate already change to the oposite, global cooling.

Climate scientists cheerfully admit that they know very little about such short-term fluctuations. "In many ways we know more about what will happen in the 2050s than next year," Vicky Pope from the UK's Met Office told the New Scientist magazine. According to the U.S. National Climatic Data Center, the month of December 2009 was the 14th coldest ever recorded in America. Could that be a cooling trend in the making? But then again, November 2009 was the third warmest November on record. The cooling trend suddenly falls apart. Such anomalies, however, are still useful if you are interested in confusing the public. Average temperatures for the winter 2009/2010, for example, could differ largely, depending on whether you start measuring in November or December.



According to James Hogan, an author and public relations specialist, there is a large lobby interested in spreading such confusion and doubt. The idea of global cooling is one of their best tools, he says, because it appeals to people’s sense of the unpredictability of weather.

In 2008, Mojib Latif and others published an article in the magazine Nature saying that global surface temperature may not increase over the next decade. Natural climate variations in the North Atlantic and tropical Pacific, he argued, would temporarily offset the projected anthropogenic warming. This, however, wouldn’t change anything about long-term global warming.

So, what actually happen righ now? Global warming or Global cooling? These a little confusing matter show us Climate Myths or whatever.... agree or not is really unpredictable.
