To assert that minute variations of a single gas in our atmosphere that constitutes less than .01% of the atmosphere as a whole can produce radical alterations of global climate is patently absurd as we have not seen seen the radical swings in global climate after every volcanic eruption.
If global warming causes global cooling, wouldn’t they just be canceling each other out? So there really isn’t any global warming, because the cooling cools the warming? Just sayin.
Within a few years “children just aren’t going to know what snow is.” Snowfall will be “a very rare and exciting event.” Dr. David Viner, senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, interviewed by the UK Independent, March 20, 2000.
Strange day for this time of year in Cleveland, Ohio. It’s 50 degrees, and the sun is out!
So there really isn’t any global warming, because the cooling cools the warming?
That's the way control theory works, and it applies to most everything in equilibrium.
It works in climate science, electronic control, economics, and even social behavior (as the fart in the elevator demonstrates, negative feedback from the females keeps the farter under control).
The enviro-mental greenies have been trying to tell us that the feedback is somehow positive and there will be a runaway scenario happen. Under their theory, higher CO2 would cause higher temps, causing the absorption of sun heat to increase causing higher temps. They used this to try and scare the pants off old ladies and children to get support for their radical anti-American/anti-human agenda.
Hopefully this article is an accidental sign that common sense is reinserting itself into the political equation. The NYT simply doesn't know they have admitted facts that kill the AGW theory if allowed to blossom.
I’ll have to try that sometime.
Just goes to show you...there is no such thing as normal weather. Average temp is just the middle between the two extremes.
Yeah dying to the point that the Feds are now going to issue air permits to power plants and refineries to ‘slow’ the amount of CO2 they are emitting.
I’m not talkin’ ‘bout the temperature! It’s the sun being out here that’s unusual! 8^)

All very true, great article.
Same as now, Lake Erie. Buffalo is not the right place to test theories of global anything.
Would a collpase of the Greenland Ice Sheet (caused by a warmer earth) shut down the Gulf Stream and put Europe in a Deep Freeze? Yes.
Collapse is out of the question. Even a lot of melting from Greenland isn't going to shut down the gulf stream which is driven by annual Arctic refreezing.
So...just because its cold in your part of the world doesn't mean the globe isn't warmer overall.
True and I agree with the rest of your comments, it is getting cooler and may get colder (somewhat unpredictable solar variables and very unpredictable volcanic activity are involved)
I think they meant that there is more exposed ocean surface to evaporate from. One problem with that theory is that world evaporation depends on temperatures and winds over the tropical ocean, not the puny amount from the Arctic. It can be seen by looking at snowfall at Barrow where the Arctic ocean thaws each year. There is a little more snow in the fall because of the open water, but not much more.
LOL...that was funny. I think I remember reading that higher CO2 actually caused cooling, like volcano ash does? And that the oceans emit a lot of the CO2 into the atmosphere.
There used to be over 130 meteorology stations scattered over the Canadian Arctic. Over the last 20 years, those stations have been defunded, decomissioned, and shut down until now. As of three years ago, there is exactly ONE recording met station on Canadian soil North of the Arctic Circle, according to a couple of internet sources...
The met station that is most heavily used by the warmists is in a place known as the Arctic Riviera: Ammassalik, Greenland. For a Package Tour, follow this link

Greenland is frozen freshwater glaciers. It would be freshwater melt that would shut down the gulf stream...and that is not subject to annual refreezing as you suggest. It would not matter how much snowfall you had in Greenland during the winter if you had substantial melting. It would put massive amounts of freshwater (cold freshwater) into the system and shutdown the thermohaline circulation. The arctic is subject to refreeze and has no effect on the gulf stream.
Freshwater freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Saltwater freezes at a much lower temp.
Saltwater is denser than freshwater.
Freshwater does not enter the equation.
Freshwater freezes before saltwater does.
And that is my point. The freshwater would have to come from Greenland. It could not come from the Arctic. This is all theory...as it has not been observed during the time of man.
Please read up on basic science before believing in global warming.
