I think the authors are actually answering the claim that no upward trend has 
been detected globally, and yes it's too bad this is before the Copenhagen 
meeting, but I guess researchers don`t foresee that their work "can and will be 
used against them"

Subject: Re: [ECOLOG-L] 10 years without warming

"It seems that there are in the last 10 years the planet did not get warmer."

Thats an overly simplified statement that politicians love !

10 years is way too little time to search for a trend. Then these are AVERAGED 
temperature differences, ostensibly equally sampled all over the world. And we 
know that climate variables are rarely perfectly linear in their correlative or 
causative behavior, given the different time scales of various oceanic 
oscillations.
Meanwhile the accelerated melting of Himalayan and Andean glaciers continue, as 
evidenced by the highest snowmelt-fed stream discharges in recorded history 
(ok, thats also a blip, but at least spans more than a century in certain 
watersheds).
