Satellites Show Cooling Not Warming!

The scare over global warming, and our politicians' response to it, is becoming ever more bizarre. On the one hand we have the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change coming up with yet another of its notoriously politicised reports, hyping up the scare by claiming that world surface temperatures have been higher in 11 of the past 12 years (1995-2006) than ever previously recorded.

This carefully ignores the latest US satellite figures showing temperatures having fallen since 1998, declining in 2007 to a 1983 level - not to mention the newly revised figures for US surface temperatures showing that the 1930s had four of the 10 warmest years of the past century, with the hottest year of all being not 1998, as was previously claimed, but 1934.

On the other hand, we had Gordon Brown last week, in his "first major speech on climate change", airily committing his own and future governments to achieving a 60 per cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 - which is rather like prime minister Salisbury at the end of Queen Victoria's reign trying to commit Winston Churchill's government to achieving some wholly impossible goal in the middle of the Second World War.

Mr Brown's only concrete proposal for reaching this absurd target seems to be his plan to ban plastic bags, whatever they have to do with global warming (while his government also plans a near-doubling of flights out of Heathrow).

I can't get into global warming. I'm still waiting to die from acid rain and the ozone hole.

Hey, did anybody read that the planet's magnetic field is weakening? The ozone layer will disappear and all the water will disassociate into hydrogen and oxygen and escape into space. DOOMED!!! Doomed we are. Nobody has figured out how to link it to capitalist activity yet so it's not being widely reported - but you can bet it's Bush's fault

Wait, this is FR, not DU! Never mind.

He isn’t even that smart!

"When I was in school back in the 70s, the threat was global cooling. What goes around comes around, there is no reason why the same folks concerned about global warming in 07 can’t flipflop again."

I wish I was a reporter. I've been dying to ask this of Al Gore: "So were the scientists of the 1970's LYING about global cooling?"

[Turborules]

Jewels, I know we all would like to think that facts would matter to Gorbots...but they could care less about facts on the warming or cooling...they just want to tax it in what ever direction it goes...or if it only stays unresolved forever...

gotta love a con man and his understanding of human nature!
PT Barnum was Gore, yet made you laugh and love being taken...with Gore we laugh, and want to go throw up!

There was more hot air in the White House in ‘98.

I guess the new Australian PM didn’t get that memo...

[tioga]

So this is why Al is cashing out?

[DManA]

I’m thinking Gore and company saw this coming. Hence their “Don’t think, act” strategy.

[gathersnomoss]

OMG, this is blaspheme. Gore must retaliate. The House and Senate have deep pockets that must be filled. And what will GE do?

[gathersnomoss]

The average temperature in upstate NY is about 23 degress for the next 10 day’s. I am certainly looking forward to some skiing this Christmas.

Thanks, Al!

thanks, bfl

wouldn't have mattered if he had...for the last year or so we have been swamped with global warming climate change b*llsh*t every time we open up a magazine or newspaper or turn on the TV or radio. The intensive scare campaign worked. The Greens received so many votes -

hey, it's so good to hear that Brown in the UK is going to ban plastic bags and our new Prime Minister is going to make it rain...LOL!
