The biggest change is the a shift in the Gulf Stream which brings warmer air and water from the equator up into northern parts. As it moves south, so will the basically temperate belt that parts of Europe, UK and North America enjoy.
It's ironic to say the least that Global Warming will actually see a return of the Thames in London freezing over in winter!

Correct. The Eastern US will have a winter like they had at Valley Forge.

OK, enough.

Here's the ABC Radio bit.
PM - Cooling climate claims enrage Australian scientists
(note that it the "opinion" piece was published in "The Australian" - a long time climate change skeptic.

And so in terms of increasing greenhouse gases, we can also see that effect because the most recent La Nina, the current La Nina, is warmer than earlier La Nina episodes of the same strength. We're actually seeing a warming even in these cool periods associated with La Nina.

The 0.7 is mosltly attributable to La Nina - the "cousin" of el-nino.

El Niño and La Niña are officially defined as sustained sea surface temperature anomalies of magnitude greater than 0.5°C across the central tropical Pacific Ocean. When the condition is met for a period of less than five months, it is classified as El Niño or La Niña conditions; if the anomaly persists for five months or longer, it is classified as an El Niño or La Niña episode. Historically, it has occurred at irregular intervals of 2-7 years and has usually lasted one or two years.

Sun whatevers only cause a 0.18degree affect to temperature as highlighted in the debunking thread.
