"It hasn't been this warm in 150 years!" Is the cry. Well guess what that means? 150 years ago it WAS this warm. Never to be confused by the facts, both global warming AND global cooling are due to global warming!

The temperature goes up and the temperature goes down. That's the way it is on the Planet Earth.

If there is a permanent "Global Warming" due to greenhouse gasses, just think of it as "Glaciation Insurance".

The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling lasting approximately from the 14th to the mid-19th centuries, although there is no generally agreed start or end date: some confine the period to 1550-1850. This cooler period occurs after a warmer era known as the Medieval climate optimum................One of the difficulties in identifying the causes of the Little Ice Age is the lack of consensus on what constitutes "normal" climate. While some scholars regard the LIA as an unusual period caused by a combination of global and regional changes, other scientists see glaciation as the norm for the Earth and the Medieval Warm Period (as well as the Holocene interglacial period) as the anomalies requiring explanation (Fagan).

But recognize that +>4 degree "asterick" cleverly superimposed (projected on the alarmist graph) at year 2004.

Well, we are at year 2007 now, and that +.4 degrees ISN'T present: We are still stuck at +.1 degree from 1970's (low) level.

Odd. Global warming isn't warming. Temp's (mid-troposphere from NASA) have been stable for 8 years since 1998's peak.
