==Academic career==
In 2008 Latif was joint author of a modelling study in ''Nature'' whose results suggested "global surface temperature may not increase over the next decade, as natural climate variations in the North Atlantic and tropical Pacific temporarily offset the projected anthropogenic warming."〔(Nature 2008 )〕 At the UN's World Climate Conference 2009 in Geneva Latif gave a talk about prediction that used, amongst other material, results from this paper.〔(WMO contribution 2009 )〕 ''New Scientist'' reported about Latif's research that "we could be about to enter one or even two decades of cooler temperatures".〔(New Scientist 2009 )〕 This interpretation has been stated as incorrect in an interview with Latif,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120668812&ft=1&f=1007 )〕 after being asked whether he was a global warming sceptic, he explained that "If my name was not Mojib Latif, my name would be global warming. So I really believe in Global Warming. Okay. However, you know, we have to accept that there are these natural fluctuations, and therefore, the temperature may not show additional warming temporarily."〔 In 2000, he gave an interview to the German journal Der Spiegel where he said "Winter with strong frost and a lot of snow, as happened 20 years ago, will no longer exist in our region."〔http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/winter-ade-nie-wieder-schnee-a-71456.html〕
