Yeah, that's why people tend to call it "climate change" now instead of "global warming." According to the predictions, some places (like the UK) will get a lot cooler even though the planet gets warmer.

New York Times reports "a major cooling of the planet is widely considered inevitable because it is well established that the Northern Hemisphere's climate has been getting cooler since about 1950s."

Woke up Sunday morning it was 44 F with RH of 56%.

Too bad the only answer these nut politicians can come up with is to tax the snot out of us because of the weather outside happens to be warm. Oops I mean cold errr cool with a bit of sun oh whatever.

There used to be a lot of folks in this forum who were quite vocal in their espousing of the global warming theory. We don't hear much from them on the subject anymore.

It must be all that egg on their faces...

March 2nd and dumping snow just 15 miles up the hill here. Global Warming? Global Cooling? Climate change? Well, different weather properties from last year. And will probably be a different story next March 2nd.

Pfft!

"Global warming" indeed!

It's quite chilly out tonight!

What do you say to that, Hansen?

I hear ya. Telling people about the last round of environmental fear mongering back in the '70's seemed to make little impression on those determined to spread it. I just thank God that our leaders at the time refused to give into it and ratify that stupid Kyoto wealth redistribution treaty.

Further proof that there are still some people out there who will believe anything a tree hugger tells them without checking the facts.

I like hugging trees.

You need to look over a much longer time frame to get some prespective (at least 2-3,000,000 years). I'm also aware of the deficiencies of climatic data collection and computer modelling. I've done a lot of fact checking and even managed to get a BSc in palaeoclimatology and palaeoecology.

The fun thing about science is that it progresses through disagreement. I'm sure you could find an eminent scientist to back up whatever claims you want to make, but the consensus in the field is climate change is here, is increasing and it's caused by human actions (but personally I worry more about SOx and CH4 than CO2).

Human actions or human population?

I believe that both will cause significant difficulties in our future, especially the fact our pop. growth rate is doubling. Pop. in 1966 was 3.2 billion, now it is 6.4 (Or something like that), and in 2020 it will be 8.4 billion.
