The Evolving Science Of Climate Change

A well-reasoned article on climate change in Germany's Der Spiegel. Finally scientists are looking past their obsession with CO2 and anthropogenic causes of climate change and are trying to understand the bigger picture.

Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years. Some attribute the trend to a lack of sunspots, while others explain it through ocean currents.

...it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year.

Mojib Latif, one of Germany's best-known climatologists, says that the temperature curve has reached a plateau. "There can be no argument about that," he says. "We have to face that fact."

There can be no argument? Tell that to the politicians. They are dangerously behind the temperature curve here.
