Beam me to Planet Gore !

There’s been no net global warming in the 21st century. Although seldom reported by the mainstream media, it’s quite a story, because no climate model predicted it.

Increased warming was predicted by all modelers even on the assumption that CO2 levels did not increase. CO2 levels increased and there should have been even more warming. In fact there was no cooling. The climate models are no good!
correction: In fact, there was cooling.
That’s a very sanguine attitude. The one thing you can count on is that the neither the idealogues nor the conmen are going to give up their highly profitable boondoggle any time soon.
The link to the Study referred to in the article does not work. Does anyone know anywhere else it is available? I need all the ammunition I can find!
Here’s the link to the study by Canedell et al. (2007) referred to in the article, direct from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences:

Thank you.
They’re obviously beating the human induced global warming drum. Strangely, they don’t seem to have made the connection to real world outcomes.
Speaking of global warming, I caught a blurb on The Simpsons when I was going through the channels tonight to see if I could find a preseason NFL game.
Homer, Marge and kids are sitting in their house in their warm winter coats, scarves and hats, freezing. Marge says “Homer, you should have paid the electric bill!” Homer says, “I thought global warming would take care of it. Al Gore, you can’t get anything right!”
The above is paraphrased, as I can’t remember exactly what was said, but I LOL’d...
Ahhh, but they're not living in the real world. They're living in computer models.
I have read somewhere before that temperatures peaked in ‘98 and have been on a downard trend ever since. Every retort I’ve ever heard criticises “anecdotal evidence” or assures us that “temperature is not climate.” When someone asks them to tell us how they are so sure that the climate is charging headlong into warming when it hasn’t warmed since ‘98, they jabber about computer models or dig back in time to the same old charts showing carbon and temperature rising together in the nineteenth century. When you point out that the computer models did not predict what experience has shown, they jump into some mumbo-jumbo about how carbon throws everything out of whack, and how global warming causes both warming and cooling, or some such nonsense.
Since global warming theory has been around for decades, my question is why, oh why, did the green explosion hit us (and the marketing industry) with such fury? As I remember things, since I’ve been alive, environmentalism was always in the background, like white noise. Then, with Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth”—which was pretty convenient for his pocketbook—green was “it”: the political and economic fad of fads. That was in 2006, eight years AFTER peak global temperature. What they heckfire?
Wow. What a denier. The science is settled. Climate change is running wild. </s>
We're all going to BURN FREEZE to death!

Properly, respond to these AGW religious extremists with tender loving care:
Tell them that temperatures rose 1/2 of one degree between 1890 and 1935, fell 1/2 of one degree between 1935 and 1970, rose 1/2 of one degree between 1973 and 1998, and have been falling ever since.
Remind them that Bush solved global warming, and that temperatures since 1998 have declined worldwide, while CO2 levels have been steadily increasing bout 1% percent per year the whole time through every cycle.
Yes, temperatures (and solar intensity) rose from 1973 to 1998, a total of 25 years. But for ten years, temperatures have declined.
Now, after a very cold winter of 2007-2008 (and into the beginning of the new winter of 1009!) temperatures are no hotter than they were 40 years ago!
So the “TREND” they are so concerned about has canceled itself over a very long period of time.
