The issue is not climate change, but rather, is it manmade and can man control it. If CO2 is such a significant factor, why have global temperatures dropped precipitously? Are you suggesting that the current data are incorrect? If the effects of CO2 are cummulative, you wouldn't have such swings. Is CO2 the culprit for the warming or is it solar activity? If these climate models are so accurate, why haven't they been predictive of climate change, i.e., warming?
The article you linked uses such pejorative phrases as "climate-change deniers" to invoke images such as Holocaust deniers. The fact is that there is no consensus among scientists on the data and that is not the way science and the scientific method works. At one time, the consensus among scientists was that the earth was flat and the center of the solar system. You are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts. Who the Hell is Michael Le Page and the "New Scientist Environment?
All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously. Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year’s time.
Is Global Warming on the Wane? The Case for a Cool Climate:For example, deep-ocean heat content has not increased during the past five years. Looking at just one year, from January 2007 to January 2008, we find that satellite-derived atmospheric temperatures indicate that Earth was about one degree Fahrenheit cooler at the beginning of 2008 than it was at the beginning of 2007. The United Kingdom's Hadley Centre ocean and land temperature records show cooling in the last seven to ten years.
