If this does lead to some cooling, hopefully leaders do not take this as a sign to let up on switching away from being a (hydro)carbon-based society in favor of an efficient, renewable energy society. If we continue down the green path, we'll still reap the environmental benefits when/if this reverses itself. Obviously, on top of an environmental benefit to continuing, there is also the economic benefit of local energy generation and a decrease of dependence on foreign oil.
