ya know, it was hot the last few days, but good googily moogily I have experienced many many more days hotter than those in my life. Perhaps modern air conditioning have weakened us. maybe its more people on the planet for tornadoes to hit that account for more people being hit by them. These kinds of anecdotal evidence as sound scientific fact reports is what makes "global warming" more a religion than science

There is no significant man made global warming. There has not been any in the past, there is none now and there is no reason to fear any in the future. The climate of Earth is changing. It has always changed. But mankind’s activities have not overwhelmed or significantly modified the natural forces.

Through all history, Earth has shifted between two basic climate regimes: ice ages and what paleoclimatologists call “Interglacial periods”. For the past 10 thousand years the Earth has been in an interglacial period. That might well be called nature’s global warming because what happens during an interglacial period is the Earth warms up, the glaciers melt and life flourishes. Clearly from our point of view, an interglacial period is greatly preferred to the deadly rigors of an ice age. Mr. Gore and his crowd would have us believe that the activities of man have overwhelmed nature during this interglacial period and are producing an unprecedented, out of control warming.

Well, it is simply not happening. Worldwide there was a significant natural warming trend in the 1980’s and 1990’s as a Solar cycle peaked with lots of sunspots and solar flares. That ended in 1998 and now the Sun has gone quiet with fewer and fewer Sun spots, and the global temperatures have gone into decline. Earth has cooled for almost ten straight years. So, I ask Al Gore, where’s the global warming?

Tilt is a text book example of a dyed in the wool envirozombie. Any scientist or meteorologist that doesn't agree with global warming is automatically a fraud or non credible. Step number two from the handbook then calls for accusation of being bought by the oil companies. The whole while ignoring any inquiry made about the fact we've been cooling since '98.

Jeezus, it's almost clique`.

It's very simple really.

In the last 10 years, man has put more co2 in the air than in any other decade, despite some measures to limit that output.

Given that 'manmade global warming' is a term used to point out that man's co2 emissions are causing the earth's average temperature to rise, and given that in the last 10 years the earth's average temperature has not only not risen, but has decreased, it stands to reason that 'manmade global warming', and in fact currently 'global warming', DOES NOT EXIST.

It's very simple.

If you somehow want to discard the fact that the earth has been cooling, not warming, I can't imagine how in this particular discussion you could have any credibility, whatsoever. The media and political brainwashing has beat you (plural).

The mystery here is how otherwise intelligent and logical people can be so easily tricked despite such a simple paradox (global warming without global warming).

This issue isn't one for meteorologists, geologists, astrophysisists, and the like; this is a job for sociologists and psychiatrists.

Confirmed: Big Dipper to Get Doritos
By Janet Raloff
June 13th, 2008
Web edition

Okay, it’s true. A European astronomy group indeed beamed a Doritos commercial into space yesterday. I received confirmation, overnight, from the Frito-Lay people via a public relations firm they deal with in Britain. The star system targeted to receive this missive from Earth: 47 Ursae Majoris, located in the constellation that most of us know as the Big Dipper.

Powerful radio transmitters located north of the Arctic Circle and operated by EISCAT (for the European Incoherent Scatter scientific association) broadcast the video. Traveling at the speed of light, the transmission would have zoomed a distance equal to the moon’s separation from us in “a bit over a second,” and passed out of our solar system within hours, notes EISCAT director Tony van Eyken.

spin it hoowever you want. A cooler global temperature is not warming. And predictions indicate we'll have more COOLING for at least the next 10 years ... again, spin or no spin, that isn't warming. The alarmists a throwing around their pre-emptive strikes, "please ignore the next 10 years...it don't count".

LOL

Where in that "increasing at an increasing rate" we heard so much about, due to increasingly more saturated CO2 levels?

I'll tell you ... it's in your collective dreams.

Sorry, move on to the next "save the earth through legislation" campaign.

Global spinning, anyone?
