avoid global warming instead of Florida, Texas and Arizona.

CO2 is PLANT FOOD.
And the Earth is a self-regulating system: more CO2 means more alge and other plants, converting CO2 into O2 - which we need.
Funny how “environmentalists” are so quick to think they can control the environment and so quick to screw around with a system that worked just fine without them for a very long time.

Sounds like a consensus on settled science to me.

New Peer-Reviewed Study Finds ‘Warming is naturally caused and shows no human influence’
By EPW Blog Monday, December 10, 2007
An inconvenient new peer-reviewed study published in the December 2007 issue of the International Journal of Climatology.
Climate warming is naturally caused and shows no human influence:
Climate scientists at the University of Rochester, the University of Alabama, and the University of Virginia report that observed patterns of temperature changes (‘fingerprints’) over the last thirty years are not in accord with what greenhouse models predict and can better be explained by natural factors, such as solar variability. Therefore, climate change is ‘unstoppable’ and cannot be affected or modified by controlling the emission of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, as is proposed in current legislation.
These results are in conflict with the conclusions of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and also with some recent research publications based on essentially the same data. However, they are supported by the results of the US-sponsored Climate Change Science Program (CCSP).
The report is published in the December 2007 issue of the International Journal of Climatology of the Royal Meteorological Society [DOI: 10.1002/joc.1651]. The authors are Prof. David H. Douglass (Univ. of Rochester), Prof. John R. Christy (Univ. of Alabama), Benjamin D. Pearson (graduate student), and Prof. S. Fred Singer (Univ. of Virginia).
The fundamental question is whether the observed warming is natural or anthropogenic (human-caused). Lead author David Douglass said: “The observed pattern of warming, comparing surface and atmospheric temperature trends, does not show the characteristic fingerprint associated with greenhouse warming. The inescapable conclusion is that the human contribution is not significant and that observed increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases make only a negligible contribution to climate warming.”
Co-author John Christy said: “Satellite data and independent balloon data agree that atmospheric warming trends do not exceed those of the surface. Greenhouse models, on the other hand, demand that atmospheric trend values be 2-3 times greater. We have good reason, therefore, to believe that current climate models greatly overestimate the effects of greenhouse gases. Satellite observations suggest that GH models ignore negative feedbacks, produced by clouds and by water vapor, that diminish the warming effects of carbon dioxide.”
Co-author S. Fred Singer said: “The current warming trend is simply part of a natural cycle of climate warming and cooling that has been seen in ice cores, deep-sea sediments, stalagmites, etc., and published in hundreds of papers in peer-reviewed journals. The mechanism for producing such cyclical climate changes is still under discussion; but they are most likely caused by variations in the solar wind and associated magnetic fields that affect the flux of cosmic rays incident on the earth’s atmosphere. In turn, such cosmic rays are believed to influence cloudiness and thereby control the amount of sunlight reaching the earth’s surface and thus the climate.” Our research demonstrates that the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2 has only a minor influence on climate change. We must conclude, therefore, that attempts to control CO2 emissions are ineffective and pointless. – but very costly.

The Grant Nazi says “No more grants for you!”
The dems are going after Bush (who else) for not promoting the idea of man caused GW. How about the libs and their butt buddies in the MSM ignoring/suppressing these stories?
Fred Singer has been doing the Lord’s work for years now.
I encourage FReepers to look into his findings.

One man's bill is another man's check.
That report is politically incorrect to the Nth degree, and it will no doubt be buried by the media and never seen again outside the libraries of the universities that sponsored it. The man-made global warming hoax has now been so thoroughly ingrained into the gullible public's mind by the left wing media and their liberal politico cronies that I don't think a resurrected Moses speaking from Mount Sinai could successfully debunk it.
I read recently that approximately 20,000 climate experts from many countries have signed a paper that disputes the bogus man-made global warming baloney, and only about 5 thousand scientists from all fields of science, mostly fields which have no relation to climatology, have signed onto the UN paper that accuses humans of destroying the earth's climate balance with man-made greenhouse gas emissions. But of course no amount of actual climate expert testimony matters as long as the MSM and AlGore's hippie-dippy Goraphiles are incessantly ballyhooing the globaloney myth and the public is swallowing it hook, line, and sinker. The facts are that 97% of all greenhouse gas presently in earth's atmosphere is simply water vapor, and of the remaining 3% less than 1/10th of 1% is man-made CO2. If that virtually insignificant percentage of greenhouse gas can drive the earth and humanity into wreck and ruin there is no hope that mankind can survive even if we accepted Algore's globaloney as truth and acted accordingly. But thankfully it is just globaloney and mankind will survive and thrive unless we are stampeded into believing it and approving the anti-American agenda of AlGore and the MSM's Globaloneyists.
Folks, we are being hornswaggled by ALGore and his cadres of Gaiia (sp?) worshipping leftover hippies who hate America and Americans for being relatively rich while some socialist 3rd world nations are poor as owl roost, and even hordes of otherwise credible "experts" have been deceived by the globaloney hoopla. This deception will end up destroying or seriously damaging the US economy like nothing else ever has or could, and we the ordinary American people are bringing down upon ourselves and our nation what I believe to be a deliberately manufactured economic disaster by not seeking out and learning the truth about globaloney, and by not speaking out and voting accordingly. May the one and only true God help us and our great nation to detect and reject the deceit and lies, because AlGore's mind-numbed troops and their false god Gaiia, aka Satan, certainly won't.

Thanks for posting the article, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
“The sun is constantly active, emitting particle streams that carry magnetic fields; and they in turn have an influence on the climate of the earth,” he says.
AND FURTHERMORE... Children are taught this in first grade, so it’s not like you must ‘suspend your disbelief’ ....(per Hillary)... oh, wait a minute. It is like that.
People must quit pretending that the SUN is not the source of weather.
“Global warming” hoax BUMP!
Great! Now all you Libs - STOP GLOBAL WHINING!
Humans are causing the earth’s rotation to slow down. Look at the data!
