Climate Alarmists in Denial: There’s new evidence that the climate is cooling
American Thinker ^ | 05/15/2014 | Jeffrey Folks

As if this winter weren’t enough, there’s new evidence that the climate is cooling.  For those alarmists who still don’t get it, even the International Panel on Climate Change, hardly a group of climate change skeptics, now admits that the last decade and a half has been a period of little change in the Earth’s climate.  When a committee of climate activists expresses reservations about global warming, you know it’s getting colder.

Some of the strongest evidence of cooling comes in a recent report on natural gas usage during this past winter.  For the first time, the U.S. burned more than 3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas this winter, most of it for heating.  That was more than the 2.3 trillion cf of 2012-13, and double that of 2011-12.

That evidence is irrefutable.  We have lived through a winter of historic proportions – the coldest winter in Vermont’s long history, and the third-coldest for the city of Chicago.  But not only do natural gas futures confirm what everyone except climate alarmists already knows about last winter; gas futures also provide evidence about next winter.

Futures traders are highly sophisticated investors who base their trading on all known information.  Unlike those who engage in politicized debate over climate issues – like the president this week in his hapless attempt to shore up support for more Solyndra-style spending – futures traders care only about the facts.  When they are right about the facts, they stand to make a great deal of money.  When they are wrong, they lose big.  Consequently, futures trading is one of the most reliable indicators on climate, crop yield, economic growth, and much else.

In the 70s, CO2 caused global cooling, but when it got warmer, CO2 caused global warming.

For the past 18 years the temp has flat liner, but CO2 was blamed for climate change {now called climate disruption} because the is no disputing that the climate does change and there is always some kind of disruption, flood, drought, tornado's etc. which can be blamed on something, since we know that there is no GOD (s/Off), it must be CO2.

Didn't think I needed the S/Off tag but the mods have been overly tough lately.

RE: CO2 explains global warming AND cooling

A theory that explains everything, explains nothing

Yup. May 15th and my lovely is telling me to take a jacket. Normally I would be schvitzing once the garage door opened.

That’s why they are changing the name. It’s no longer “global warming” its now “climate chaos”.

Which means that any deviation from the norm can be claimed to be a crisis. How convenient.

My kids asked me if I believed in climate change. “Sure. You see it every year. Spring to summer to fall to winter.”
