Nice. So if this report is correct, when the average temperature starts to drop in a few years, Man is still the bad guy. Or rather, all those who don't bow down to the econazis are the bad guys. I wouldn't expect anything else.

(it has been told that that cows are one of the big causes of global warming) Could it be that what we are told is only a prelude to selling us something else to replace the last thing that was better for the invironment.

As for solar cycles bringing a cooling phase: maybe they will. But there will still be an underlying anthropogenic warming going on. It just means instead of global temps falling 1c they fall 0.6c (for example) - and after the natural cool phase has ended, they'll rise again to even more than they were before ..... Likewise if we're currently in a natural warming phase, that warming phase will have been amplified by human activity. So even if most current warming is natural there is still an underlying anthropogenic warming trend.

A cold spell soon to replace global warming

Astrophysics knows two solar activity cycles, of 11 and 200 years. Both are caused by changes in the radius and area of the irradiating solar surface. The latest data, obtained by Habibullah Abdusamatov, head of the Pulkovo Observatory space research laboratory, say that Earth has passed the peak of its warmer period, and a fairly cold spell will set in quite soon, by 2012. Real cold will come when solar activity reaches its minimum, by 2041, and will last for 50-60 years or even longer.
