UN scientists concede global warming cooling could set in for next 20-30 years

The mercury has been trending in the opposite direction the UN scientists thought it would. Now one of the leading UN scientists is claiming that the earth might experience global cooling for the next 20-30 years.

Man made global warming is a farce but I would take this claim with a grain of salt. After all, it's a UN scientist making the claim.

The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate scientists.[...]

According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, Arctic summer sea ice has increased by 409,000 square miles, or 26 per cent, since 2007 – and even the most committed global warming activists do not dispute this.[...]

Among the most prominent of the scientists is Professor Mojib Latif, a leading member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has been pushing the issue of man-made global warming on to the international political agenda since it was formed 22 years ago.[...]

He and his colleagues predicted the new cooling trend in a paper published in 2008 and warned of it again at an IPCC conference in Geneva last September.
