Interesting that the WSJ would post this their track record is usually the opposite, quite a spike in the last 10 years.

Quote:
The research shows that a one-degree temperature variation that took 11 millennia to occur since the end of the last major ice age has been replicated in the 150 years since the early days of the Industrial Revolution.

Within that framework, the decade 2000-2009 was one of the warmest since modern record-keeping began, but global mean temperatures didn't breach the levels of the early Holocene. Now they are on track to do so, according to the Science paper. If the scientists' forecasts are correct, the planet will be warmer in 2100 than it has been for 11,300 years.

We are also in a solar maxim and I'm sure that has some effect on the earth's temperature.
