over global cooling over the past decade, and &#8220;new research suggests that lower levels of water vapor in the stratosphere may partly explain the anomaly.&#8221; The report proceeds to discuss a <em>Science<\/em> magazine study showing that &#8220;concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere has dropped about 10% in the past decade, triggered by unexplained cooler temperatures at certain high altitudes above the tropics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Further, &#8220;the study concludes that in the last decade the decline in water vapor slowed the rate of rising temperatures by about 25%, thus partly negating the heat-trapping effect of increasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, natural and unpredictable global cycles and solar activity far beyond human control overwhelm the alleged effects of human activity on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The only people &#8220;puzzled&#8221;
