2008 will be coolest year of the decade:
This year is set to be the coolest since 2000, according to a preliminary estimate of global average temperature that is due to be released next week by the Met Office. The global average for 2008 should come in close to 14.3C, which is 0.14C below the average temperature for 2001-07.
Wait... I thought the earth was melting, and our SUV were killing Polar Bears. Now it's getting colder? Facsinating.
You HAVE to read this lecture by Michael Crichton, he makes some excellent points and arguments about the junk-science behind global warming:
I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had. Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.

Y’all are dissin’ Albore. He’ll never rise to the shakedown status held by Je$$e Jacka$$ if you don’t stop.
Albore is doing it on a global scale !!!
Hey where have you been?! The facts don’t matter! Yes this is the coldest year in the past decade, the polar ice caps are growing, and we’re headed for an 80 year cooling period, but there is still global warming, and we must all be taxed for our treacherous ways, not to mention cutting back on beef, but micky d’s will be happy about that!

Michael Crichton died too young. His voice is missed.

Ping me if you find one I've missed.

I had a conversation with a physics professor friend of mine. He called global warming “ a hoax”.
