Narrowly scoped, the present situation is either strictly
caused by solar variations (in which case I believe the «solar variation» crowd will inappropriately gain credibility over the next 10 to 20 years as we work through the next below
average solar cycle or two), or strictly
caused by CO2 concentrations (in which case I believe the «CO2 concentrations» crowd will inappropriately lose credibility as the non-linear relationship (sensitivity is based on doublings, not linear increases) between increased CO2 concentrations, and forecasts for below
average solar cycles reduces the longer term upward trend in global
temperatures).

Global
average surface
temperatures are not expected to change significantly although
temperatures at higher latitudes may be expected to decrease to a modest extent because of a reduction in the efficiency of meridional heat transport (offsetting the additional warming anticipated for this environment
caused by the build - up of greenhouse gases).
