No - the MET states "Global warming at a standstill"
How can that be construed as "Slowed"? Please tell.....
Its only the forecast until 2017 I belive (heard radio rather than read the link). Ultimately the sun will go supernova and it will get hotter How can that be construed as "Slowed"? Please tell.....
I have no problem with global warming - its part of a naturally occuring cycle. You shoudl hear what the mammoths had to say about global warming
The new annual forecast, published on December 24, is the first to make use of the Met Office’s latest climate model, HadGEM3, which it said “includes a comprehensive set of improvements based on the latest scientific understanding”.
That understanding being that when you remove politically or financially motivated scientists from the data analysis you get different results.

And still we get the LibDem-led Climate Change Act, that's going to cost every household £20,000.
I've written to Cameron and Clegg pointing out the futility of this Act, that is tantamount to institutional fraud.
Maybe a few more letters would help...come on, chop, chop.
Edit...
Next letter will demand an end to road tax based on CO2 emissions, and a refund of already paid tax based on this myth.

But how? We're on the path to doom and death now that Kyoto failed surely? And China's Carbon emissions are still growing exponentially?
I can't and won't believe it, just blatant propaganda from the right-wing MetOffice who obviously care more about quality of life and the betterment of humanity than the threat from CO2.

...don't think you've quite got a grip on this.
king woo.The wording is a little unclear, but I've read that as Global Warming continues at a steady rate, rather than an increasing rate, which isn't the same as Global Warming has stopped.
Which is kind of like the way George Osborne likes to sound like he's cutting the deficit when in fact he's actually cutting the rate that it's growing at.

I once clicked on a Soovy thread, expecting my RDA of immigrant hating bile and scantily clad nano-celebs, and was confronted by The Telegraph. The bloody Telegraph.
How the devil am I supposed to know which bikinis former members of the Pussycat Dolls are sporting on their winter breaks?

The wording is not unclear, IMO: the average [annual] temperature in the period 2013-2017 will be the same as the average temperature in 1998.Which is kind of like the way George Osborne likes to sound like he's cutting the deficit when in fact he's actually cutting the rate that it's growing at.
However, 1998 was the warmest year on record up to that point, so it will be warmer in the next 5 years than the historical trend, but on avearge it won't be (significantly) different to the warmest years of the recent past.
Hence the ever increasing temperature trend of global warming has been put on hold for five years.
Interestingly enough though, the article includes hints that the long term trend of warming isn't affected, i.e. we shouldn't expect each year to be hotter than the last, but overall the trend is for increasing temps.
