Next decade may be cooler, not warmer

In this article you read about the changes of temperature that are going to happen in the next decade in the planet. As we all know, Global Warming is a huge problem that we heard about every day, but according to recent studies that scientists have made, the next decade is going to be cooler, because "they believe is an impending change in the Gulf Stream, the conveyor belt that transports warm surface water from the tropical Atlantic to the northern Atlantic and returns cold water southwards at depth."
This is a good thing because it will make the temperatures cool down in places like North Atlantic and in North America and Europe, and the temperatures in the Pacific will stay stable.
But there are also bad news, because in the next 20 years alone, the global climate would warm by around 0.2°C per decade.
The main reason for this is that the oceans, the biggest store of heat, go through natural cycles of circulation.

What I think about the article is that we could still have some hopes on the planet not getting warmer that it is now, to know that maybe the things will change if we really try to make a difference so that all the animals, and natural places that are being in danger because of GW can be back to normal and things in the planet wouldn't be as bad as they are now.
So I think we can stil make a difference to stop all the changes that are happening with the temperature of the planet right now, so we can have a better way of life and live in better conditons.
