Hey, did we mention that global warming might be beneficial? And natural cycles were the main reason for the recent warming? And the next two decades might be cooler?

Global warming: benefits or problems?: Voice of Russia
Global warming could change the look of our planet beyond recognition. Will humanity benefit from it? Or will it face new problems?

Even though climate change can be attributed to human activity which ‘heats’ the atmosphere through an increase in production and construction, the main reason lies in the planet’s cooling and warming cycles. Alexei Kokorin runs the WWF’s climate program.

"Climate change follows oceanic cycles with a period of 60-70 years. The next two decades won’t necessarily be warmer – they could be colder. But the decades after could be much warmer. This change in temperature is a wave-like process."
