Global Warming: On Hold? Michael Reilly, Discovery News
March 2, 2009 -- For those who have endured this winter's frigid temperatures and today's heavy snowstorm in the Northeast, the concept of global warming may seem, well, almost wishful.
But climate is known to be variable -- a cold winter, or a few strung together doesn't mean the planet is cooling. Still, according to a new study, global warming may have hit a speed bump and could go into hiding for decades.
Earth's climate continues to confound scientists. Following a 30-year trend of warming, global temperatures have flatlined since 2001 despite rising greenhouse gas concentrations, and a heat surplus that should have cranked up the planetary thermostat.
Let's look at this a second. But climate is known to be variable -- Interesting, interesting. So if the climate is variable, wouldn't that account for the 30 year warming period as well? Or is that conveniently a one way street?
...a cold winter, or a few strung together doesn't mean the planet is cooling. Interesting, so wouldn't the converse be true? A few years of warming strung together doesn't mean the planet is heating up?
Come on people, I've been saying it all along, the climate is cyclical. Before humans were even here the Earth has NATURALLY cooled and heated. There have been thousands of warming periods and cooling periods. They come and go, and nothing humans do is going to change that. Me lighting a fart isn't going to cause global warming. You not shaving your armpits, and eating tofu isn't going to stop the earth from warming up. It's in God's hands, all he asks is that we are good stewards of the planet he blessed us with.

Note that the first section is the article, and the last couple of paragraphs is analysis of the article.
Global warming has morphed from a save the planet plan, to just pay the tax plan.
Scam, you judge.
Always a scam, never on hold. I mean, really guys, who tells the weather to wait? The weather waits for no man and don’t you forget it!
I vote “scam”
When the glaciers start rolling in on our descendants, they’ll wish we had global warming.
SCAM!!!!!
SCAM!!!!!
Its March 3rd and today with the wind it was -17C (-10 C without the wind)
Im WAITNG for global warming....
This is at least the third time this has been posted.
Didn’t you know..? Our dear leader Barack Obama has spoken and the weather has obeyed. He alone has frozen global warming and is holding it at bay.. /s

This is war!
(Poor Al Gore)
An otherwise-intelligent woman I know, told me that Global Warming hasn’t gone away. It is simply being masked by Global Dimming.
I think most Obama voters are suffering from Cerebral Dimming.
good! Obama saved us from global warming. We’ll give him all the credit! now leave us alone.
Scam. Pure and simple.
they need the scam of Global Warming to pull off their Cap & Trade Scam. We are so screwed.
Three decades of frigid winters will prove NOTHING!
Talk about covering your ass. LOL
Here’s some logic: If carbon is taxed for the Cap and Trade, and CO2 is the culprit (one carbon and two oxygen), when will they discover they can tax 02 at twice the rate of the C?
To the extent that the danger has been blown out of all proportions it is definitely a scam.
Do you know the sound of a head exploding? LOL Please don’t go into politics.
