Global Warming May Take a Break For a Decade or So

The earth may take a breather for 10 years or more due to the arrival of a natural, regular cooling trend which develops every 60-70 years that may mask the effects of man's misuse of resources according to BBC report "Next decade 'may see no warming'".

The report shows that a German researcher has found evidence of the cool periods in historical data that could reduce the effect of Global Warming for 15-20 years.  Near the end of the time, of course as the curve catches up with other models of GW, as the article seems to indicate we might actually see faster warming than others.  This is no kind of cure, just a break due to a natural pattern, due to a slow down in the Atlantic phenomenon popularly named the  Gulf Stream.  Like the El Niño conditions in the Eastern Pacific Ocean this can affect the entire world.    

See source for details.

We need to help friends and loved ones to understand if Global Warming does take a holiday for a decade or more that the cessation is only temporary and the heat rise will return with spades after the periodic cool down.

It is a breather, a respite, or if you believe in God, then Him giving us one last chance to get it right before he lets us enjoy the true fruits of our continued misuse of His creation. 

I truly doubt that mainstream news will understand or at least explain this properly.  After all, anyone with power in mainstream news probably has their plot of land in Alaska, or the Himalayas all picked out to ride through the disaster of unmitigated Global Warming until enough of the rest of us die off. 

(Just kidding. The honchos of mainstream news will,  obviously, be able to turn the air conditioning on all day and afford the expensive food, cars, and security from the starving masses they will need to stay down here and make their millions every year.  I don't think they can get their jobs shifted to the other locations so easily.)

We can use the time we may receive from these natural break to work on reducing the use non-renewal energy personally, and helping our governments to create an environment in which energy and other resources are used more wisely.  Or we can use it being terrified of what will happen when the natural cooling period is over.
