Yes, scientists have reported that last year there may have been a slowing down in global warming - the same scientists who have tracked global warming. But one year's figure is not enough on its own and scientists keep tracking and reporting.

The emphasis on climate change rather than global warming started long before last year's figures - because it is a more accurate description. Overall there may be warming, but the effects could cover a diversity of different types of climate change, including some regions getting colder.

I found Henry's original shrill shriek against his opposing shrill shriekers very amusing, unfortunately typifying so much debate on this serious subject. I think 'greens' often do get too strident and were pioneers in some didgy PR techniques like 'stuntism' - creating a media-event stunts to get publicity (see also Fathers 4 Justice and others). But then so do those who claim there is some kind of conspiracy of government-sponsored scientist hacks who are distorting their evidence.

Scientifc papers talk in terms of probabilities and models not certainties, and after that there is a judgement on how to interpret those probabilities and policies to deal with them. Suggesting otherwise by either side of the debate does a disservice to the arguments put forward.
