A 10% drop in water vapour, 10 miles up has had an effect on global warming over the last 10 years." Until now, scientists have struggled to explain the temperature slowdown in the years since 2000, a problem climate sceptics have exploited."<br /><br />What flattening?<br />What slowdown?<br /><br />The warming trend is still there, with no signs of slowdown:<br />http://tamino.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/riddle-me-this/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
