Sounds like a good read, I will have to check it out - I do enjoy science fiction. Back in real life, however, the data clearly shows the planet is still warming. I do hope that you can appreciate that as an equivalent statement of worth, one could equally say that your outrageously hot summer Down Under is evidence of "a coming inferno" or somesuch nonsense.
IMHO both statements - which you will find plenty of people willing to make - miss the mark. What matters is not what happens from day-to-day, month-to-month or even year-to-year, but rather the long term trend. Which is unquestionably one of steady warming... whether people like it or not.
FYI: cbn.com is a religious news source. I don't know about you, but a website which denies evolution and professes the Earth is only a few thousand years old would not be the first place I would go to get peer-reviewed scientific information.

Ahh, but I've now checked out other hits, and they say the same thing. Can't all be religious nuts.

Did you check any scientific sites? Or Wikipedia? The first line of the Wikipedia entry on global warming would've given you your answer - it's generally a good place to go for unbiased coverage on a subject. How did you phrase your question? If you're deliberately looking for a "coming ice age", that's what you'll find in the search results...

...Herb...contrary to the prevailing intimidation's...the science is not settled.
Did you even read what I wrote?
The data shows that the fact the planet is warming is irrefutable. I purposely said NOTHING about WHY it was warming (e.g. natural or man-made causes), and absolutely do not intend to get into that. The vast majority of Global Warming Skeptics accept that the planet is warming; they just disagree about why. But you are so tied to your ideological beliefs that you can't even accept real-world facts... and to think one of your favourite websites is called "Reason"... take a look in the mirror, you're peddling "Delusion" instead.

Its not even science. $$$Paid for manipulated computer data! Good thing this grand social engineering hoax is just about over. Fewer and fewer believe this hoax which is good thing.
Get. Help.

SJJ Don't know where you get your data but whilst some places have observed increased temperatures, weather.............the global warming trend stalled and has stayed that way since 1998. And that is according to the UN's WMO
No, that is according to the interpretation of the WMO report by a news site for software developers which has a skeptical stance - I should know, I've read that site regularly for years.
I said the planet was warming. Did el reg tell you what was going on in the oceans?

It's hard to remain patient with such wilful ignorance. I don't like the "denialist" pejorative and I don't use it because I feel it's unconstructive, but when you look at the ignorant comments above it's not hard to see how it came about. Fingers in the ears, no, No, NO, I will not accept anything, even the uncontroversial fact that the planet is warming. As much as I may disagree with them on other matters, at least intelligent skeptics acknowledge the warming trend even if they ascribe it to natural causes rather than the work of man.
If you believe that the data that shows the planet is warming has been hoaxed, IMHO you have some serious psychological issues.

...."psychological issues"??..........prolly!!!.............I can't look a beagles without wanting to massacre pheasants.......or watching a Subaru ad without wanting to drop a third bomb on Japan....
btw when you get some free time, learn what healthy skepticism is means.....that is assuming you do not fall of the edge of the earth in your many travels.
.....now,PEACE............in our time bro..............
