An article in the Forum for February is upon the subject of the much-talked-of change in our climate. The writer, Prof. Cleveland Abbe, says that the notion that it is possible for a climate to change is a modern one. Our ancestors lived in a region subject to but slight climatic changes, and on this account perhaps presumed that climate was absolutely unchangeable. In 1812 Culier published his "Discourse on the Revolutions of the Surface of the Globe and the Changes thereby Produced in the Animal Kingdom." This was at that day considered as contradicting ancient traditions and the evidences of the senses. Cuvier had in mind slow changes which were in progress through long ages and resulting from geological alterations. But after the publication of Cuvier's discourse people got used to the idea that climatic changes were possible. Many writers have since endeavored to demonstrate that climatic changes have taken place within historical times. Nowadays it is indeed common to meet with persons who believe that climatic changes may occur within a generation.

That’s neat. bookmarked.
Yes our climate does change, but we cannot predict how.
It is tied to the heat source for our solar system.
We have known for over 90 years that weather if more variable during sunspot minimum and maximums.
It is reasonable to state that our climate changes with the level of activity on the Sun.
“BUT, WE HUMANS ARE NOT AFFECTING OUR WEATHER PATTERNS”
Yes, our climate is changing. But our global is not warming...

And we all know that any guy who wins $1MM from "wolfblitzzer"....er....."pullitzzer" can't be wrong. After all, algore had the support of the one and only mikeymore too!

With this much "weight" behind their statements, how COULD they be wrong!!???
Fantastic. Algore wasn’t born yet.
We have had at least 7 glacial periods in the last half million years and there has only been industrial pollution for about the last 150 years. What a joke these chicken-littles are. Personaly, I like it warm, it give the Obamasiah a chance to run around half-naked and make Chris Matthews get a tingle.
What comes in, goes out.
The good in life goes away - what's bad in life goes away. And they both come back.
And climate? Sometimes it's warming - sometimes it's cooling...
ebbs and flows

What complete, utter nonsense. Just read the accounts in Switzerland of confronting advancing glaciers during the Little Ice Age. Oh, that's right, the Little Ice Age doesn't exist - it was fudged out of existence in the Hockey Stick climate model.
