Rhetoric Vs Science
As most are aware the solar magnetic cycle is at its lowest level in roughly 100 years and is continuing to drop.
If Svensmark’s mechanism is correct the planet will be colder and wetter due to increased increased GCR the resultant increase in planetary cloud cover. Svensmark's mechanism has the greatest affect at latitude from 40 deg N or S to 70 deg N or S.
The region where I live Calgary 51 Degrees North, Alberta had the latest snow fall and the coldest May in roughly 100 years.

How is that possible if the world May temperature is the warmest in the last 1000 years?
Prior to very late snow fall we had a week of hard frost, lows of -2C to -3C in May.
This is June and the furnace must still be run as the nightly low is 5C. This is the coldest June in memory.
Last summer temperatures in Western Canada were the coldest in 20 years. Crop yields were down by roughly 20%.)

If Svensmark’s science is correct the planet is starting to cool. There appears to be no scientific basis for the AWG rhetoric.
(i.e. Those individuals who appeared to have monkeyed with the temperature data assumed their beliefs are correct and that the planet will therefore eventually warm. Now that the planet is cooling the back pedaling begins.)
Why did Britain, US, and Europe experience the coldest winter in the last 20 years last year. What can we expect for the winter of 2010/2011?

2009
Cold spring, dry fields lower 2009 crop prospects in Western Canada
Winnipeg – The CWB today released its preliminary crop forecasts, projecting a western Canadian wheat, durum and barley crop of 29.7 million tonnes in the 2009 crop year, down almost 20 per cent from last year’s 36.7 million tonnes and significantly below the five-year average of 33.9 million tonnes. The all-wheat yield estimate announced by the CWB today, at 33.4 bushels per acre, is the lowest initial projection in seven years.
“Cold weather across the Prairies this spring has had a detrimental effect on planting and early crop development in most growing regions,” said Bruce Burnett, CWB director of weather and market analysis, at the annual CWB grain industry briefing today. “In addition, soil moisture levels are dangerously low in parts of Alberta and western Saskatchewan, where dry conditions have persisted since last fall.”
(I might add that a lack of rainfall was not the reason for the drop on crop yields. The problem was and is very cold spring and early summer temperatures. Rainfall is very high this year and Farmers are noting late germination due to anomalously cold temperatures.
