Investment in newer and cleaners plants has ground to a halt in places such as the United Kingdom where the government has embraced the Kyoto treaty and pledged to cut greenhouse gases by 5.5m tonnes by 2010.

Natural variability, therefore, is sufficient to explain all of the warming since 1750. No other explanation is necessary.
