Climate change is natural, cyclic, and unstoppable.

There has got to be something going on beside man's influence - how else to explain temperatures declining in the 1800's during the industrial revolution and global warming stopping for 31 years between 1945 and 1976.

I think that's true.

In the medieval era, Europe was much warmer. If you look at the Canterbury Tales, most the leisure was outdoors, and in medieval illustrations, women wear light gowns and men in short sleeves. In the 11th century, England had vineyards and its own wine industry.

There was a mini-ice age between the 16 to 19th centuries - all those nobles in heavy gowns and furs.

From the late 1600s til 1730 or so, sunspots decreased drastically in number (known as the Maunder Minimum). Earth's climate cooled... the Thames River froze over. That cooling is directly linked to the sun.

I guess this means that the 'RATS and their enviroweenies can stop extorting money from those who make America work.

This is all Bush's fault!

You mean it's not our big honkin' SUV's? / sarcasm on

[gondramB]

"little boy and fat man?"

I've wondered about that too - we started open air testing in 1945 and it ended around Carter's presidency - the same period that global warming stopped advancing.

The greenies would destroy our economy in the mistaken belief that human activity has anything to do with climate. What we should be doing to paying attention to the observed cycles and planning a means of exploiting what is expected to happen. Shift agricultural activity to locations that will be increasingly favorable. Populating areas that will be most comfortable year round without need of heating or air conditioning as a constant artificial "fix" for making a bad choice of locations to live.

I'm already setting a bad example by moving from San Diego to Pocatello, Idaho. San Diego weather is so even that you can literally plan on only needing to heat one week a year and cool one week a year. I did exactly that from 1978 to 2001. This week marks the start of heating season in Pocatello. Night time lows in the 20s, daytime high in the 60s. In another month, the high won't wander above freezing until mid-February. I'm still saving energy...by not mowing the lawn. Less gas and less physical effort.
