2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved, according to the Telegraph's Christopher Booker. Sceptics have long argued that there are other explanations for climate change other than man-made CO2 and here we look at some of the arguments put forward by those who believe that global warming is all a hoax. Temperatures are falling, not rising
As Christopher Booker says in his review of 2008, temperatures have been dropping in a wholly unpredicted way over the past year. Last winter, the northern hemisphere saw its greatest snow cover since 1966, which in the northern US states and Canada was dubbed the "winter from hell". This winter looks set to be even worse.
The earth was hotter 1,000 years ago
Evidence from all over the world indicates that the earth was hotter 1,000 years ago than it is today. Research shows that temperatures were higher in what is known as the Mediaeval Warming period than they were in the 1990s.
The earth's surface temperature is not at record levels
According to Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies analysis of surface air temperature measurements, the meteorological December 2007 to November 2008 was the coolest year since 2000. Their data has also shown that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s but the 1930s.

Ping!
Which explains why a "financial crisis" had to be created in order to increase the power of government -- AGW had failed as a pretense.

So if it ends up that we are going into a mini ice age, will the global warming, oops I mean climate change fanatics then turn around and blame it on man made pollutants?
Disproving the existence of the Global Warming Hoax is like disproving that the color of the sky is purple with yellow polka dots.
It was an obvious LIE from the beginning.
In a better world, such nonsense would be simply ignored.
Whatever it takes to control economies and the people. When there is no real problem, invent one.
In a better world, we wouldn’t need FreeRepublic.
But in this world its Algored.
Time to seriously start the class-action against Algore for his global scam.
You saw the "peak" somewhere in the 1930 to 1999 period ~ so it's all over.
Time to talk to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and some other places about "living space" ~ whether they like it or not.
You just put the words “Al Gore” and “genius” in the same sentence. Surely you jest?
He is a genius. Do you know how much money he made off of this scam; perfectly legally? I’d sell my credibility for a few hundrd million.
So does Global Whining.
Not only is he a genius with his scam, but he’s got a lot of “scientists” like Dr. Heidi Cullen of the Weather Channel and the rubes who run the Discovery Science Channel (Inconvenient Truth was on the other night) believing it.
John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel and former WLS-TV (ABC) metereorologist, says it’s all bunk and I’d be more inclined to believe him than clowns like Gore, Cullen et. al. (including the Science Channel and now Planet Green Channel).
He's the gentile Madoff...
Back in 1954 the government paid to have a box installed right next to a volcano in Hawaii; evry year since they have been checking to see how much carbon has been deposited in it.
It currently holds roughly 30% more than when new.
Either we are putting more in the box each year or somebody is failing to clean the box.
This one box is the sole justification for all the theories and all the noise.
The rest is just a Pollock tapestry woven lovingly by busy hands.
