That is simply not true. Measured global warming has started to
level out over the last 20 years and fossil fuel usage has not. None
of the existing models account for this leveling off so there is
something else going on that is not yet understood.

A recent report by Russian scientists claims that a global cooling
cycle is in store for the next 200-250 years or so.

It is based on solar activity. According to the report, the level of
solar activity goes in 11, 90 and 200 year cycles.
The 11 year cycle doesn't affect much but the 200 year cycles have a
pronounced affect on global climate. From the report:

"Solar activity follows different cycles, including an 11-year cycle,
a 90-year cycle and a 200-year cycle" Yuri Nagovitsyn comments.

“Evidently, solar activity is on the decrease. The 11-year cycle doesn’t
bring about considerable climate change – only 1-2%. The impact of the
200-year cycle is greater – up to 50%. In this respect, we could be in
for a cooling period that lasts 200-250 years. The period of low solar
activity could start in 2030-2040 but it won’t be as pervasive as in
the late 17th century”.
