Similarly, I predict that for a period of time it will be warmer and for a different period it will be cooler.

I regret the run-on links in #40.
Those should have posted as live links.

Reducing CO2 is surely something good. Based on what criterion? This assumes that the current levels of CO2 are optimal or higher than optimal. Optimal for whom? By what measure? If solar emmissions are decreasing and cooler temperatures are undesirable, a person living in Moscow might quite reasonably disagree.

China has acknowledged a policy of "build now & clean up later" in their bid to catch up economically with the west. They are so far behind us economically that I don't think they can survive their current policy--surely they will choke on their own filth before they reach where they want to be.
Scattered reports from both the Chinese government and other concerned organization paint China as an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen.

That's what I've heard about China, too. Filthy air, horrible water pollution that is so bad that the Russians complain. The PRC is paying an awful price to stock the shelves of Wal Mart.
All of the oil ever discovered will be burned somewhere, someday, by someone. Every drop.
So it's far better for people in rich countries to burn it in their clean burning vehicles with catalytic converters and other emission controls on them, than by third worlders riding 2 cycle motor scooters and other highly polluting gadgets widespread in the developing world.
It has been said, that the emissions coming out of the tailpipe of a brand new, good running American car can actually be cleaner than the polluted air going into it if that car were to be driven in a place like Shanghai...
So gentlemen... start your engines!

Got to admit, the "Warmists" do provide us with some comic relief.
No matter what happens, it's global warming.

Which change favors more snow in Aspen and Vail. If its global cooling, I'm all for it.

The "Wamists" have theories that are 180 degrees out of phase with each other.
Example: The glaciers and polar ice are melting and that will cause the oceans to rise, thus sinking some low-lying areas and some islands (due to global warming).
Now comes the revelation that the glaciers are actually increasing...and, of course , they jump in and say that the increase was due to global warming [it's a religion].
But now that the glaciers are increasing, what happens to their dire warnings of increased sea-levels.
This is what happens when liberals dabble in science.

Within the next year, I predict a drastic drop in temperature, a mini-ice age of short duration, followed by another period of global warming.

Don't you get it that global warming causes the polar icecaps to melt which opens up a passage for the cooler waters in the artic to mix with the warmer waters of the southern Atlantic which in turn does something weird which causes land temps to cool down?

The daily input of Solar energy is the most important metric we apes could be monitoring. As soon as we had capable instruments we should have been monitoring. By far, infrared light energy is responsible for most of the heat on our planets surface. You turn off the daily sun and we quickly turn into an ice planet with some volcanic hot spots. We also need to measure infrared light separately from visible light. Clouds reflect visible light while they are absorbing infrared light. Until we have about 100 to 200 years of solar energetic input measurements, anything we do CANNOT be called science (actually in modern times you apparently can call it science since most of what we call science today is actually political science).

"algorejr will never permit this, will he?"
- Algore will simply claimed that he was successful in his campaign against global warming. That he "invented" global cooling.
- John Kerry will claim that he was for global warming before he was against it.
- Hillary will claim that she has always been a global warmist.
- Bill will claim that he did not warm up that intern.
- Sen Biden will steal Algores speech and claim he invented the internet.
- Ted Kennedy will blame his increased drinking on trying to stay warm.

I predict that global cooling, whether or not any is actually measured, will be blamed on:
- Bush specifically, for failing to sign Kyoto.
- Bush policies generally
- Haliburton
- failing to provide China, and third world countries enough fossil fuels to burn
- cutting the rain forest
- eating meat
- Over industrialization
- Under industrialization of third world countries
- human over population
- Urbanization
- America's involvement in middle east conflicts
- pollution
- missle defense
- space exploration

In Shanghai, you can see easily the milky haze over the city, the smog is so thick that you may mistake the smog for an overcast dayLos Angeles is like that a lot too.

I remember driving through the L.A. Basin last year. Coming down from Cajon Summit on I-15, it was like driving into a brown wall.
