Interesting. I guess these "Senators" haven't heard that global temperature measurements have shown a downward trend over the past three years - indicating that the solar cycle we have been in for the past few decades is coming to an end.

But, far be it for the MSM to publicize that fact. "Tell the lie, tell it often enough . . . . . "

"The case for a "greenhouse problem" is made by environmentalists, news anchormen , and special interests who make inaccurate and misleading statements about global warming and climate change. Even though people may be skeptical of such rhetoric initially, after awhile people start believing it must be true because we hear it so often."

Global warming is driven by the United Nations; McCain and Clinton use it for votes and now Snowe and Rockefeller seem to have been pressured by special interest also. With the threat of a world Caliph imminent, these silly politicians have their heads in the sand....

Go EXXON!.....one wonders why don’t they take on CITGO and Hugo……………instead of EXXON...........

Really. There are two sources of global temperature estimates, NOAA and GISS, the Goddard Institute of Space Studies. NOAA's analysis put 2005 as the second-warmest year ever, about 0.1 degree less than 1998, the warmest, which featured a massive El Nino. El Nino years are warm years in the record. 2005 did not have an El Nino, and the GISS analysis indicated that it was the warmest year in the record.

There is an El Nino underway now in the Pacific. A very recently published analysis (last week, in fact) indicated that Europe is experiencing its warmest autumn in 500 years. NOAA reports that January-October 2006 global temperatures are tied for the 5th warmest; if El Nino strengthens it could push November and December higher.

Heck of a downward trend there.
