Our local meteorolist stood up and discounted this man made global warming crap, too.
Trouble is, it now has a political-religious following. It will take a generation to get rid of this one, and by God’s grace, we may hope not to replace it with yet another “global cooling/coming ice age” scare.
I need to find a Global warming Denier T shirt to wear.

I thought "scientists" were behind the belief in global warming. Even the simplest student should be able to tell from those numbers that CO2 is irrelevant in the warming of the earth.
My energy consumption at work is down 15% since April due to mild temperatures. I am looking out the window at yet another 65 degree August day in the New York Metro Area.
The people who decide on my bonus are all big GW believers, so they think I’m some kind of Energy Conservation GOD!
There is really nothing very mysterious about it. The entire "climate change" movement is really just bad science, and foolish people.
If you actually read the “sizzling paper” referred to by this WorldNet report — congratulations! It is highly technical. However, as far as I can tell from a quick reading, it looks very good. Not exactly “sizzling,” though.
The paper by Schwarz brings up some fundamental points about global heat-balance.
There is no doubt that the Global Warming mania has become an industry for grant-writers. You end up with a host of happy researchers working in rather limited areas, all dining off of the proceeds of grants to study “global warming.” Naturally, they must pay lip-service to the alleged threat. Just how much they really believe, we will never know until the movement collapses. It reminds me of all those Chinese who claimed to worship Mao, and the New York Times (in the person of James Reston) proclaimed that no one opposed Mao, and that their reverence was impressive to a good “Presbyterian.” Later, of course, we found that almost no one actually loved Mao, but they are too embarrassed now to lose face by admitting how loathsome he was, and that they all went along out of ignorance or fear.
Global warming reminds me of some of the feeding frenzies of the past, such as the great threat of acid rain. And what about the danger of radon? No one talks about these now unfashionable bugaboos. There actually are some environmental threats, but surely we should be able to tell the real from the unreal. For example, none of the fears I just mentioned are as dangerous as smoking, or human sexual behavior (which is responsible for the spread of AIDS). There is also human political behavior, which has probably caused more harm than all the environmental threats we can imagine.
It’s too late! All of this propoganda has turned previously rational people into blithering idiots willing to pay for MAN’S mistakes.
It is REALLY nice to see others speaking out about a conclusion many of us reached LONG ago.
The globe has been warming since the last ice age ended and will continue to do so until the next ice age begins.
Wonder how those states or nations that ran industries out of their country to stop carbon emissions feel now. Its really hard to get a factory and industrial complex employing thousands or tens of thousands to relocate to your area. They most likely permanently lost those jobs.
Whether the Earth is heating up is unknowable. It could be argued either way till dooms day, which will come when our sun blows itself, and us, to atoms.
To so-called environmentalists I say:
In a hundred billion eons,
Or tomorrow, for all we know,
Who will save the spotted owl
When Sol begins its dying-sun glow?
When oceans begin to boil away
What will tree-huggers do?
When all is Gone With the Astral Wind,
The Old Growth as well as the New
Who will care what happens to
The whales or Snails who dart,
When our sun turns white hot
and blows itself, and us, apart.
So much for the ecko-freaks cause
When all around us float
The dust of everything that was
But now is just a mote.
So use and enjoy our Worldly gifts
For Earth’s final fate
Is to be mere cinder bits
Drifting about in frozen space.
but now corporations have figured out they can charge stupid people to pay extra for “green” products.
The real point here is that one does not need to be a physicist to debunk GW. It is mathematically impossible for mankind to be causing climate change, period.
Common sense vs. “religion”. No wonder we can’t reason with these alarmists.
In reality, this is simple more evidence that this is not about GW, it’s about socialism and government control.
It is "the mainstream media's" business to promote - the mainstream media. And it does that by promoting alarms which suggest that it is vital to the public that they pay attention to - the mainstream media. So if "The question is, will anyone in the mainstream media notice [that fear of carbon combustion is unfounded]," the answer is, quite certainly,
"NO!"

That alone spells the death knell of anything he has to say being taken seriously. AGW`ers say the AEI is in the pocket of big oil.
