That's not what the article says.
The article says that scientists say that the Atlantic change would not be the cause of warming, but Aerosols, Pacific ocean changes, and volcanic eruptions.
The scientists are not disagreeing about the direction of the temperature, but the cause. In this case, the new study is claiming humans are not the cause, but the new study shows no evidence to contradict the existing models. Thus scientists are "grumpy" that the study is shoddy.
- Udik 8y ago> Thus scientists are "grumpy" that the study is shoddy. Climate scientists have a consolidated tradition of being made grumpy by any scientific paper downplaying human responsibility for global warming. I can understand their concerns about shoddy science preventing us from acting quickly to contrast climate change; at the same time there is a clear pattern of much tighter scrutiny for results pointing in one direction rather than the other; and while this might be in the best interest of humanity, I don't think it is in the best interest of science.
