Noted: The head of the University of Wisconsin Atmospheric Sciences Group, Anastasios Tsonis, supports Latifâ??s findings with further evidence showing that global temperatures depend largely on oceanic â??multi-decadal oscillations,â? or MDOs. Tsonis does not deny human activities can contribute to rising temperatures, but he disagrees they can affect climate in any significant way. In an interview with the U.K.â??s Daily Mail, Tsonis explained that the latest MDO warm mode has brought on the global-warming hysteria of the past few years. Recalling ice-age predictions made in the 1970s, he said, â??Perhaps we will see talk of an ice age again by the early 2030s, just as the MDOs shift once more and temperatures begin to rise.â?
