As noted above, they aren't the only ones saying this.
I do agree that they'll be ignored or ridiculed by the MSM.
The thing that's driving me the most nuts about this whole situation is the AGW proponents’ reaction to the cooling trend. “Global warming is causing the cooling! We need to do MORE!” and my favorite, “Isn't it interesting how the Universe counters the damage we've done!”
Never mind almost a half a million years of ice core samples and 8,000 years of tree ring data showing that we've had *many* warming and cooling trends. Never mind historical data describing the cooling and lack of sunspots. No, *we're* the problem.
It's the height of hubris to choose a global temperature within your own lifetime and declare it to be the perfect temperature for *all* time.
Right now I don't know if these people are egotistical or just plain stupid.
“It’s the height of hubris to choose a global temperature within your own lifetime and declare it to be the perfect temperature for *all* time.”
If you look at the charts for the real long term (going back 500,000 years or so) - we have had a relatively long interglacial period compared to the others that our recorded in the ice cores. About 8,000 years long (which also is about the same time as “civiliazation” —— hmmmmm!)
It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if this “cool” period is really the start of the next last glacial period (mastadons, saber tooth tigers, that kind of stuff), and not just a “minimum”. But lets hope it is not too severe. Although I suppose the “greenies” would think it was great that the polar bear habitat now included Chicago.
Could it be that they are egotistical and just plain stupid? Yes, I think that's it!! A powerful combination, and well aligned with the MSM ...
Indeed. I visit http://www.icecap.us/ frequently.
