The money quote is the final sentence of the report.

"It may be that more global warming doubters are surfacing because there just isn't any global warming."

Therefore I could not beat the response by " osaycanuc"

"Can't you just hear the hot air whooshing out of this balloon? PHSSSSSSSSST! To wit, the lack of comments here, where one might normally expect to see a torrent - nay a geyser! - of piqued opinion as to the relative science around either side.

Checkmate, anti-capitalist, anti-consumerist, anti-carbon buffoons. Your bandwagon is running out gas!"

Globally, volcanoes put out far more CO2 annually than does industry and motor vehicles. I don't see anyone suggesting we outlaw volcanoes.

Facts don't matter. It is ideology driving a desire to seize control politically and economically. The lefty policy changes will do far more damage than any imagined "anthropogenic CO2".

[listenhillary]

Your bandwagon is running out gas!

Obama's going to give us a free windmills for our band wagon, so there! Nya!

Find later self ping.

Thanks for the ping, Xcamel.

Does not matter, government will implement “green” solutions at any cost for the next few years then take the credit.

I think with the downturn in the economy, frankly we just can’t afford to have a global warming catastrophe, so we won’t.

[varmintman]

The evidence we have is that our planet goes through hotter and colder periods lasting for decades and centuries, e.g. the medieval climate optimum, little ice age and, further back, the late Holocene climate optimum or hypsothermal. The conceptual problem some have despite the evidence involves the received notion that stars are thermonuclear engines. IF that were the case, there would be no reason to expect solar activity to increase or decrease periodically and thus cause planetary weather changes.

Stars are not thermonuclear engines; They are plasma-physics phenomena. They're basically similar to lightning rods i.e. focal points of cosmic discharge. As they pass through regions of space with greater or lesser electrical potential from themselves, they heat up or cool off.

Gore could be freezing to death and he'd still be yelling about “global warming”.

Could liberals as narrow minded and rigid as they seem?

[NorCalGuy]

I notice a subtle shift of concern from Global Warming to Climate Change. This allows Al Gore to sound the alarm no matter what the weather does.

[varmintman]

Another way to look at it is that if WW-II did not bring about the great man-made eco-holocaust, it can’t happen.

[Scutter]

This is why they are in a panic to pass some sort of feel-good legislation on this. If they can claim credit for addressing the “problem” before it’s evidence there isn’t one, they can be the big heroes.

One of the major arguments of the doomists was that there were no reputable scientists who opposed their wacko theory. Now they seem to be arising from all around the world scoffing at the notion of man-made gw. The doomists have been fairly silent lately. Maybe they sense the scam is about over.

Let’s start calling it the ‘AlGore Minimum’.

Well here on the Texas gulf coast our climtate is exactly the same as it was when we moved here 35 years ago. The occasional hurricane and rare snowfall, same ole same ole.
