The claims in the article are bizaare. In fact the exact opposite has been happening. Global temperatues were markely lower in 2008 than in 2007 mainly due to la nina - a point acknowledged even on the Goddard Institute site. They have since bounced back but to a level lower than 2007. And those temperatures are, in turn, part of a long, slow decline since the end of the century evident on four of the five sites that track temperatues - UAH, Hadley, RSS and NOAA but not on GISS (Goddard), which has temperatures level pegging. As for all the stuff on ice sheets in Greenland and the like if the author looks again he will find that the bulk of it has been quietly dropped. The New Scientist articles make interesting reading on that point. There is certainly nothing in current sea level heights - what's being recorded in recent years, as opposed to projections, to suggest any acceleration in the steady increase (0.3 metres over a century) that has been occuring for decades. The University of Colorado operates satellite sea height measuring programs which, sorry, don't give the results the author would hope for. Again we are talking the exact opposite - admittedly, over a limited time. If these trends continue, the IPCC will have a great deal of explaining to do. This article does not help.
