Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts? (link)

...Since I obtained my doctorate in climatology from the University of London, Queen Mary College, England my career has spanned two climate cycles.

By the 1990's temperatures appeared to have reversed and Global warming became the
consensus. It appears I'll witness another cycle before retiring, as the major mechanisms and the global temperature trends now indicate a cooling.
