That's what I keep telling my AGW-Denialist friend, but he prefers living in a fantasy world where human beings can inject four Hiroshima A-bombs worth of heat into the oceans and atmosphere every second without consequence. (The actual excess heat accumulated over the last decade is 8000 million million megajoules per year.) Global temperatures were increasing even over the last few years while the solar cycle was cooling, now that the solar cycle is returning to its heating phase, so get used to it, you're experiencing a small glimpse of the future.
