Astounding Headline: "Global Temperatures 'To Decrease'"

Unfortunately, the article that he quotes refers to “carbon monoxide” emissions. Of course it is carbon dioxide that has the wackos concerned.

Mixes up La Nina and El Nino, too.

Where's the "Absolut Heresy" Ad for this one...

Climate Realism: Global Warming due to CO2 is a real effect, actual warming due to CO2 has lower magnitude than IPCC model estimates, and AGW is not a crisis.

You are correct in your assessment, I believe, though I would point out that there are definite climate changes that will occur beyond temperature. These will lead to costs. For example, climate bands that move to areas out of synch with soils (soils take longer to develop than a new climate) will affect sensitive crops (e.g., wine grapes)--they can't just be "moved north."

And the effect will get worse as time goes on, even if it's below "crisis" levels.

But this also doesn't meant that crippling our industrial base is the way to go. There are other options--ones that improve our economies, rather than hamper them.

Most teachers are totally brainwashed on Global Warming too.

Much better to go back to the term we used to use, before the MSM jumped onto the "Global Warming" part of it.

"Used to use"? When was that? While I was a meteorology major back in the 80s, the only terms I ever heard in class or saw in the textbooks were "global warming" and "greenhouse effect".
