Three predictions from the BBC in less than a year, so take your pick:
the world is either warming, cooling or staying just right.
Three Recent Climate Predictions Re****ted By the BBC

Writing in Science, Met Office researchers project that at least half of
the years between 2009 and 2014 are likely to exceed existing records.
However, the Hadley Centre researchers said that the influence of
natural climatic variations were likely to dampen the effects of
emissions from human activities between now and 2009.
But over the decade as a whole, they project the global average
temperature in 2014 to be 0.3C warmer than 2004.
Currently, 1998 is the warmest year on record, when the global mean
surface temperature was 14.54C (58.17F).
BBC August 2007: Ten-year climate model unveiled
Global temperatures for 2008 will be slightly cooler than last year as a
result of the cold La Nina current in the Pacific, UN meteorologists
have said.
Mr Jarraud told the BBC that the effect was likely to continue into the
summer, depressing temperatures globally by a fraction of a degree.
This would mean that temperatures have not risen globally since 1998
when El Nino warmed the world.
A minority of scientists question whether this means global warming has
peaked and the earth has proved more resilient to greenhouse gases than
predicted.
Experts at the UK Met Office's Hadley Centre for forecasting in Exeter
said the world could expect another record temperature within five years
or less, probably associated with another episode of El Nino.

BBC April 2008: Global temperatures 'to decrease'
The Earth's temperature may stay roughly the same for a decade, as
natural climate cycles enter a cooling phase, scientists have predicted.
A new computer model developed by German researchers, re****ted in the
journal Nature, suggests the cooling will counter greenhouse warming.
However, temperatures will again be rising quickly by about 2020, they
say.

: "They don't tell you, that, in their computer models, it's assumed
that CO2 drives global warming. In other words, you assume the result
and say the computer model proves we were right. It's garbage in,
garbage out. If you don't program the computers to cause temperatures to
rise with CO2, then you have nothing." Dr. Don J. Easterbrook, Professor
