After decades of research to prove that global warming exists and that human impact is the cause for the change in climate, scientists are beginning to find a new way to create a decade long climate report as meteorologists do creating a weekly forecast, reported the New York Times [1], March 1st.

The first preliminary tests are simply computerized simulations, and the measurement of ocean temperature, sea level, and currents. In these early stages a slight cooling of Europe and North America was predicted, most likely due to shifting currents and patterns in the oceans. Scientists claimed that though this experiment is in the preliminary stage, the data used for the simulation was based on climate progress from the previous decade which if all else follows should help them predict what would happen in the next decade. 

The model is a rough replica of conditions, the scientists said. While it reliably reproduced climate patterns in Europe and North America, the model could not replicate patterns over central Africa, for example. It should also help the public and policy makers understand that a cool phase does not mean the overall theory of human-driven warming is flawed, Dr. Kevin Trenberth [2] a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research [3] in Boulder, Colo. said.” Too many think global warming [4] means monotonic relentless warming everywhere year after year,” Dr. Trenberth said. “It does not happen that way.”
