Journal Marxist Hacker 42's Journal: Knife in the back for Anthropogenic Global Warming? 34
So, is Global Warming done for? I've long used "Global Chaotic Climate Change" instead, and have never bothered with the anthropogenic/natural debate. But recent data seems to indicate that the entire idea of the earth going into runaway greenhouse effect is WRONG.
Of course, now it's too late anyway- peak oil, combined with growing demand in Asian Markets, has done what all the Kyoto accords couldn't and will bring us $5/gallon gas by August anyway.

I caught the beginning of Die Hard on TV tonight, and there was a shot of the building with a gas prices sign in the frame -- 75 cents a gallon and on down. It looked so weird without the dollars digits in front. But that was from 23 years ago. My how time flies, and things change. Oh well, tomorrow I think we both celebrate Christ's resurrection and victory over that which is the wages of sin. Happy Easter.

Happy Easter to you too. 49 more days of it to go for me- the longest holiday on the Church Calendar. Oh, and of course, in a bid to stop my liberal parish from losing even more membership count, our priest pointed out that for Catholics- EVERY SUNDAY IS EASTER.
Theologically accurate, but if he thinks the Easter Only Catholics are going to start going weekly for that reason he's crazier than I am.

I agree. If you're really so damn worried about global warming, plant a garden. This will do three things:
1, Feed your family
2. Soak up atmospheric carbon into biomass (recycled carbon if you compost)
3. Get some trucks off the road that would have previously brought you vegetables, thus reducing some of the worst sources of atmospheric carbon, which are all in the shipping industry where cost is king and dirty fuel is cheap.

The article cited by the link specifically says that the decade of 2000-2010 is "statistically cooling". They do this by excluding all the years that the El Nino effect occurred, which are the warmest 13 years of the past 30...

So... the increasing occurrence of the El Nino effect isn't significant? I mean, Global Warming posits only a 1 degree change over the average, that isn't enough to exceed even record temperatures... so, since 79 weather when the historical average has been 78 has happened before, and will happen again...
The point is that the article is making the argument that the Earth is really in a cooling cycle, and it can show this by showing that temperatures have been going down... as long as you ignore El Nino year

That's because you're not adjusting for 'inflation'.. We're further down the slope now in every aspect, so of course each one will look worse than the previous, and the next will be worse still.

Anthropogenic Global Warming is a complete and total fraud.
Even if AGW is wrong, GW is still happening, and even if it is "natural", that doesn't mean that it won't have a significant impact on the world, and it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be responsible for taking care of it.
