Ocean oscillations are not "masking" global warming: the cooling is real
Warming alarmists are trying to spin (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/04/30/eaclimate130.xml) recent global cooling as just a cool phase of the Pacific oscillation, "masking (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aU.evtnk6DPo#)" ongoing global warming. This explanation is KNOWN to be false.
The geologic record proves (http://www.amazon.com/Unstoppable-Global-Warming-Updated-Expanded/dp/0742551245) beyond any doubt that global temperature is driven by the solar wind (or sunspot activity), and that changes in CO2 are of immeasurably little consequence. Thus the present lull in solar activity (http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/earth/4248062.html?page=1) means that global temperature is now falling. If solar cycle 24 fires up strong, global temperature could rise again, but given that solar activity has been at historical highs since 1940, a long term fall off IS coming, and when it does, it WILL cause long term cooling.
Figuring in ocean oscillations
The simple relationship between global temperature and solar activity is obscured somewhat by the difference between global temperature and surface temperature. Global temperature is the average temperature of the oceans, which are the planet's primary heat sink. In comparison, the heat storage capacities of the land masses and the atmosphere are trivial.
You have GOT to read the rest HERE (http://errortheory.blogspot.com/)
You will NOT be disappointed...unless you buy into the nonsense that IS "Global Warming/Climate Change".
The 3 links at the end are quite interesting...Especially this one (http://errortheory.blogspot.com/2008/02/global-warming-alarmists-knew-cooling.html)
