Model predicts global warming will speed up after 2009
Doug Smith and colleagues at Hadley Center used a modeling system that predicts both internal variability and externally forced changes.

WASHINGTON,
Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Global warming will speed up in the next decade and at least
half of the years after 2009 will be warmer than 1998, the warmest year on
record, reported a UK team of scientists in their climate predictions.
The next-decade prediction results by scientists at
Hadley Center for Climate Prediction and Research in the UK is published
Thursday in the U.S. academic journal Science.
The new model predicts that warming will slow during
the next few years but then speed up again, and that at least half of the years
after 2009 will be warmer than 1998.
