OMG! Global Warming!

THE scariest photo I have seen on the internet is www.spaceweather.com, where you will find a real-time image of the sun from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, located in deep space at the equilibrium point between solar and terrestrial gravity.
What is scary about the picture is that there is only one tiny sunspot.
Disconcerting as it may be to true believers in global warming, the average temperature on Earth has remained steady or slowly declined during the past decade, despite the continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, and now the global temperature is falling precipitously.

OMG! Global Warming!
Grass don't grow on a race-track. ;-)
Come to West Texas. We used to be forested.
Its migrated to other parts of your body.
People currently with beach front property will be a long way from shore.
We know from archaeological digs that human life fled to refuges in Europe in southern Spain, Italy and Greece - no significant populations lived north of those. Canada would go under, but the U.S. would only lose New England and the Upper Midwest. 'Course, a lot of land to the south of the ice would become tundra.
If CO2 emissions have somehow managed to alter this almost 2 million year series of cycles that would be a very good thing indeed for the human race, but I personally don't believe it has.
From the '60's to now is a spit in the ocean of geologic time. It may be time to invest in Costa Rican real estate or not. Who knows.
That was 2007. March 2008 was .4 F below the 20th century mean (for March). Of course that is based on preliminary data, so Hansen still has time to add some corection algorithm to prove it's actually warming.
“Sorry, but the world is too overcrowded as it is.”
You can put the entire world population in Alaska with plenty of space per person.
Nothing wrong with that is there?
“...but the U.S. would only lose New England and the Upper Midwest.”
And Alaska too.
Women and minorities will be hardest hit.
YES!
YES!
I wasted some time with a calculator and you can actually put the world’s population in the state of texas and give everyone 1134.96 square feet of space.(The average one bedroom apartment is about 750 sq feet)

March 2008 was .4 F below the 20th century mean here in the USA where if they attempted this BS even the most die hard liberal wouldn't have believed it. So instead they claim there was possibly the greatest heat wave ever in Asia that conveniently happened where no body lives and there are no thermometers.
I agree with you. The world is too crowded. Okay...you go first.
“The current food shortages are driven by high oil prices and silly use of biofuels.”
While true it is interesting how there was such a balance in these things until the government got involved.
As someone wrote on another thread; We don’t have periods in our planetary history recorded as the great Hot Ages. It’s always Ice Ages.
