No, NASA did not put that way. Not in those words, not exactly, but their very recent report essentially says that while global climate change is happening, it's not the way Al Gore says it is. Not at all, in fact. The climate changes are actually "
the result of natural ocean circulation patterns."
The report is titled "NASA Sees Arctic Ocean Circulation Do an About-Face."
Reporting in Geophysical Research Letters, the authors attribute the reversal to a weakened Arctic Oscillation, a major atmospheric circulation pattern in the northern hemisphere. The weakening reduced the salinity of the upper ocean near the North Pole, decreasing its weight and changing its circulation.
"Our study confirms many changes seen in upper Arctic Ocean circulation in the 1990s were mostly decadal in nature, rather than trends caused by global warming," said Morison.
"While some 1990s climate trends, such as declines in Arctic sea ice extent, have continued, these results suggest at least for the 'wet' part of the Arctic -- the Arctic Ocean -- circulation reverted to conditions like those prevalent before the 1990s," he added. More...

NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab has confirmed that the changes we see are not a result of man-made global warming but are in fact "the result of natural ocean circulation patterns."

Yet another piece of global warming hysteria disappears. From JPL : "Our study confirms many changes seen in upper Arctic Ocean circulation in the 1990s were mostly decadal in nature, rather than trends caused by global warming."

"The events of the 1990s may well be a preview of how the Arctic will respond over longer periods of time in a warming world," he said.
