More skeptical science that didn't make the MSM

This is the first I've heard of these studies of deep ocean currents, yet this was presented in 2008.

The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only
the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to
last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate
scientists.

Their predictions – based on an analysis of natural
cycles in water temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans –
challenge some of the global warming orthodoxy’s most deeply cherished
beliefs, such as the claim that the North Pole will be free of ice in
summer by 2013.

According
to the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, Arctic summer
sea ice has increased by 409,000 square miles, or 26 per cent, since
2007 – and even the most committed global warming activists do not
dispute this.

The scientists’ predictions also undermine the standard climate
computer models, which assert that the warming of the Earth since 1900
has been driven solely by man-made greenhouse gas emissions and will
continue as long as carbon dioxide levels rise. 

They say that their research shows that much of the warming was
caused by oceanic cycles when they were in a ‘warm mode’ as opposed to
the present ‘cold mode’.

This challenge
to the widespread view that the planet is on the brink of an
irreversible catastrophe is all the greater because the scientists
could never be described as global warming ‘deniers’ or sceptics.

...

Among the most prominent of the scientists is Professor Mojib Latif, a leading member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has been pushing the issue of man-made global warming on to the international political agenda since it was formed 22 years ago.

Prof Latif, who leads a research team at the renowned Leibniz Institute at Germany’s Kiel University, has developed new methods for measuring ocean temperatures 3,000ft beneath the surface, where the cooling and warming cycles start.

He and his colleagues predicted the new cooling trend in a paper published in 2008 and warned of it again at an IPCC conference in Geneva last September.

Last night he told The Mail on Sunday: ‘A significant share of the warming we saw from 1980 to 2000 and at earlier periods in the 20th Century was due to these cycles – perhaps as much as 50 per cent.

'They have now gone into reverse, so winters like this one will become much more likely. Summers will also probably be cooler, and all this may well last two decades or longer.

‘The extreme retreats that we have seen in glaciers and sea ice will come to a halt. For the time being, global warming has paused, and there may well be some cooling.’
