Amusing quote at the very end of the post.
Bump
Al Gore told us that he knows for sure!

this theory would explain why there has been warming on other planets in our solar system
Bump, for later re-reading and printing.
Great article. Thanks for posting.
I've always theorized (in the last 30 seconds) that global warming is coming fast and furious due to the recent additional appliance, the microwave. Too many people are heating things up. We should ban them. /sarcasm (just my convenient opinion)
There's nothing new about "the experts" being wrong on environmental issues.
Some politicians are going as far as advocating that it be made a crime for anyone to question the politically correct notion of global warming. I won't accuse Al Gore of that because I have not heard of him advocating that -- yet, at least. The global warming scare is part of a new religious inquisition. Four hundred years ago Galileo was persecuted for, among other things, mentioning sunspots. Today, scientists again may be persecuted for mentioning things such as sunspots.
Would be interested in seeing the temperature curve from those "American weather satellites" if anybody knows where it is.

This chart shows the monthly temperature changes for the lower troposphere - Earth's atmosphere from the surface to 8 km, or 5 miles up. The temperature in this region is more strongly influenced by oceanic activity, particularly the "El Niño" and "La Niña" phenomena, which originate as changes in oceanic and atmospheric circulations in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The overall trend in the tropospheric data is now +0.08 deg. C/decade (through 2004). Click on the charts to get the numerical data.
Dispute her global warming trend!
No. The temperature change on Mars is sympathetic warming in response to the temperature rise on Earth. This is easily explained by the Gaia hypothesis, which is now known to be valid for the inner planets of the solar system, and perhaps even more broadly.
Which leads to the next series of questions; what other scientific "facts" are at the 90% level of surety? And, are there any standards in the scientific community on how uncertain the truth needs to be before it becomes accepted as fact?
That's an inconvenient truth that will never be reported in the MSM's global warming jihad.
Thanks, interesting how the global warming hysteria correlates with the recent warm spell...if we get a colder spell I wonder how the global warming prophets will explain it!
"Peer review" has a way of filtering out politically incorrect science, either by limiting funding or by hindering publication.
And, heaven forbid, never give Bush credit for insisting on collecting more data. The denier at MIT says Bush knows more about this than anyone in DC.
They won't explain it, they will simply become global cooling prophets.
And it's all your fault!
