What Global Warming?

A recent article from Canada’s National Post points out the following:
• Snow cover over North America, much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966;
• The average temperature in January was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average;
• China is surviving its most brutal winter in a century;
• The Artic Sea ice that had melted to its lowest levels on record . . . is back and, according to the Canadian Ice Service, “is actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than at this time last year;”
• Respected scientists from Canada and Russia are now predicting a long period of severely cold weather if sunspot activity does not pick up soon.
So much for Al Gore’s “universal” theories on global warming. Was it all just an act? A desperate attempt to stay in the public spotlight?
Nick Nichols with Johns Hopkins writes:
The alarmists are likely to become really alarmed when they read about the International Conference On Climate Change that will begin deliberations in New York City tomorrow. More than 400 scientists, economists and experts are scheduled to attend the three-day event organized by the Heartland Institute for the purpose of challenging the claim that global warming is a “crisis.” According to the sponsors, some 19,000 American scientists have signed a petition saying global warming is probably natural and not a crisis—so much for the often touted consensus that the global warming lobby keeps yapping about.
It will be interesting to see what the outcomes will be from this conference. And how much media coverage it will receive.
Uh-oh! You dount Global Warming?!??! Only thing worse is questioning Scientology… Now scores of people will attack because they are TOLD to believe in it and to attack anyone who questions…
Global warming is not about fact or science, it is about faith and there are only three groups who go nuts when questioned: Scientologists, Arab Muslims and Global Warming lemmings

What I find amusing is that everyone on the right and the left are equally extreme in their views of Global Warming. Any time any such article or publication comes out, they (right, left, you, SW, Gore) latch on to it as the gospel truth, while denying any equally suportable research from the opposite perspective.
The fact is that, as in many things, there is truth out there, but it is never found by only listing to one perspective and blindly denying opposing facts. All the research needs to be reviewed in order to come to the most logical conclusion.
Ragnar, several hold a moderate view, and I count myself in that group.
My review of the research is thus. Climate change is occurring, and will continue to occur, and despite our egos telling us otherwise, human activity pales in comparison to other impacts (like solar activity) to impact it one way or another.
Should we find ways to be more efficient? Sure. Is the planet at stake? No.
If you watch carefully, Al Gore and his groupies have changed their tune in the last couple years. They’ve realized that the science isn’t going their way, so they no longer discuss “Global Warming.” These days, it’s “Climate Change.”
Of course the climate is changing. It always has, and has had nothing whatsoever to do with human activity. Years from now, we’ll look back on the past decade of hysteria and laugh at it like we now laugh at McCarthyism.
