Is the planet still heating up? Well...no. Not at the moment, anyways. The evidence against global warming is growing. Those against the idea that human involvement is causing this heat have been shut down in the past, but now have an important piece of evidence on their side: the planet has not increased in temperature for the last 10 years. They tie this to the warming and cooling periods of the oceans, and state that the recent warming of the earth has been to do with a warm period in the oceans, which has ended, and will return in 30 years. And could the "small" spikes in energy from the sun account for the rises in temperature we've been having?
Climate scientists for global warming insist that global warming does not steadily rise in temperature, and "Mojib Latif, a member of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) says that we may indeed be in a period of cooling worldwide temperatures that could last another 10-20 years." But not everyone agrees on this--some say the temperature will get even hotter between 2010 and 2015--and those who do agree say that the period of cooling is temporary.
What's really going on here?
