Columbia is a hot bed of GW alarmists. However, this university was touting New-Ice-Age Gobal Cooling alarmism in the early 70’s.

There are only two questions:

Is the temperature of the planet changing?

Is the change normal?

Since huge, even titanic, changes are a known, regular part of the planet's natural history, the burden of proof that any changes now occurring are abnormal is, or should be, enormous.

Why are they never, ever asked about this?

Dr. James Hansen of NASA?

Isn’t he the guy that has been working on a computer green house gas model since about 1968 that has never been validated or peered reviewed?

Didn’t his computer model say an increase of CO2 would causes the upper part of the troposphere to warm up faster than the surface temperature? NOT HAPENNING

Wasn’t that suppose cause more water to evaporate and cause more heat trapping clouds? NOT HAPPENING

Didn’t he say that CO2 increase leads temperature increase?

And this man is writing a foreign Head of state?

I think someone should unplug his computer.

If you want to help the poor, don’t make energy more expensive.

It may have some effect unfortunately, the strength of the Coal Miners Union (good Labour supporters) has been decimated over the last 25 years - 180,000 to 6,000.

Some amazing numbers in these BBC links... a bit old at 2004, but I’m sure more mines have not been opened since then...

"Dr. James Hansen of NASA?"

Isn't he the guy that advocated 'Global Cooling caused by Pollution' theories when he was in grad school? Its quite interesting that he could flip-flop from cooling to warming instantly, without spending at least a few months in the Goldilocks ideal state. He couldn't be simply an Alarmist, could he?
