An article in this week’s Nature<\/i><\/a> predicts that Europe and North America will cool slightly over the next decade. No, this doesn’t mean that global warming has stopped.<\/p>\n

The new paper describes a climate model that makes short-term (decadal) predictions based on ocean dynamics. The decade-long cooling is just a temporary offset to warming from human activity. After it passes, temperatures will begin climbing again. By 2030, the model forecasts the same global temperatures as the IPCC<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
