The IPCC has issued comprehensive assessments in 1990, 1996, 2001, 2007 and 2013, methodology reports, technical papers, and periodic special reports assessing specific impacts of climate change (the latest ones in the works: oceans and ice cover, land degradation, impacts of 1.5 °C warming).

But there's also some change in the ocean currents that's periodic so there is expected to be some cooling within the next decade or so.

Many scientists used to think that only periodic changes in earth's orbit — so - called Milankovitch cycles — could change climate, over thousands of years, but Broecker has shown that ocean currents can influence climate in mere decades — and could do so again.
