    Yet significant long term temperature increase is still being predicted. If they were so wrong with their short to medium term predictions then why should any credence be given to their long term predictions?

    Not sure what you are getting at here, the BBC reports the scientific orthodoxy, its editorialising on climate change is not out of whack with the overwhelming majority scientific opinion. In other words you should put the point to climatologists not a broadcasting company.

    Personally, I believe in man-made global warming.

    If you check out charts showing the rise in population over the last 100 years, charts showing how much fossil fuels are being emitted and a chart showing the average temperature, you'll notice a steep rise is coinciding in all charts.

    Global temp.:

    Fossil fuels emissions:

    The charts start coinciding at around 1950/1960.

    True, I should have said "BBC reports". I thought of that after I posted the thread.

    I remember around the year 2002/2003(?) reading a document that said that due to the impact of a number of cycles that the pace of warming would slow for 10-15 years before emerging rapidly from those cycles to resume the warming trend. This report specifically mentioned the difficulties this would could for policy implementation.

    I'll try to find it and I'll post a link.
