JBowyer, re your comment "You say that 12 of the last 13 years have been the hottest when Dr. Mojib Latif of the IPPC says we have had stable temperatures and it will probably cool for the next decade": I recommend you read this:

http://climateprogress.org/2009/09/22/new-york-times-andrew-revkin-suckered-by-deniers-to-push-global-cooling-myt/

The tone is rather aggressive, but putting that to one side, it does contain links to, and summaries of, good and relevant information.

Re your comment "Australia has not been hotting up": I recommend you review the data. See, for instance:

You are all asking the wrong questions.

I have not been able to be convinced either way on AGW.
However it will not matter a damn which is right.
You will have much more to worry about with declining energy and a
contracting economy.
Read this from Richard Heinberg.

Don't expect to read it in five minutes, set aside at least 1/2 hour.
Then see if you really are concerned about global warming arguments.
