Great summery on why global warming is a poorly understood science that needs to be further studied before we tax ourselves into a depression.

"currently in a state known as solar minimum; the lowest energy output by the sun as it oscillates through an approximate 11 year cycle of activity, also known as the Schwabe cycle. This is the primary reason for the colder than normal temperatures recorded across the country this summer."

There was some global warming nutcase on the news today saying that this cool spell is only local in this area (North Dakota, central Canada) and that the rest of the world is still getting hotter. Of course there was no one in the media to ask why the global temperature averages don't agree with his statement.

If the globull warming crowd can ignore the solar minimum, just wait until we hit the solar maximum!

The great irony here is it is entirely possible that President Obama and congressional Democrats will impose massive new energy taxes on the nation in a misguided effort to combat global warming, while at the same time the earth is barreling towards another little ice age.

It's not ironic government, and particularly Democrats, are always slow, both mentally and politically.

Al Gore is profiting more than many Wall Street executives from global warming. Gore is getting panic stricken that global cooling will be recognized before the Cap and Trade bill is enacted. I wonder how many other member of Congress have their fingers in this pot.

There now, fixed.

The great question for the age: When does algore get so fat that he reaches his “tipping point”. When that happens (and it will) the result won’t be pretty, kids.

One good measure of a model's ability to predict the future is its ability to 'predict' the past. That is, assume it is 1880, and then predict the temperatures in 2009. If sunspot activity is included in the 'prediction', the models can be quite accurate in not only 'predicting' 2009 temperatures, but also the heating and cooling trends that happened in between.

The problem for the Warmists is that there is no residual warming left over to attribute to CO2. That is, virtually all of the temperature anomalies can be explained without including CO2 in the model. When CO2 is included, the models are no longer accurate. That leaves the Warmists with the only option to deny that sunspots are a factor.

Yup, still no sunspots: http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/sunspots/
