I'm not sure if anyone has provided the link to this article that was in Scientific American April 2014. My husband just read it and we were discussing it earlier tonight. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-will-cross-the-climate-dange.... It addresses the slowing rate at which the earth's average surface temperature has been increasing.

This article points out a common occurrence in science. Models that are used to predict the future are notoriously fallible. They must be continually tweaked to make sense. This is the essence of science and the scientific method. Rarely do we get it right the first time.
I bring this up so there can be an intelligent conversation about the topic. There is always way too much name calling and innuendo made by commenters, as can be seen in the comments section of this article. Please, lets have a civil conversation. Without civility there can be no unemotional, fact based debate. I for one would really like to hear the rational facts from both sides of this (unfortunately) hotly debated topic.
Again, please no name calling, and only rational fact based debate.
