Year of global cooling

By David Deming - Al Gore says global warming is a planetary emergency. It is difficult to see how this can be so when record low temperatures are being set all over the world. In 2007, hundreds of people died, not from global warming, but from cold weather hazards. Since the mid-19th century, the mean global temperature has increased by 0.7 degrees Celsius. This slight warming is not unusual, and lies well within the range of natural variation. Carbon dioxide continues to build in the atmosphere, but the mean planetary temperature hasn't increased significantly for nearly nine years. Antarctica is getting colder. Neither the intensity nor the frequency of hurricanes has increased. The 2007 season was the third-quietest since 1966. In 2006 not a single hurricane made landfall in the U.S. Then add in this report on the religion of the Left:

I just googled 'David Deming'. He definitely sounds very credible!
;-)

Anyways, I would stick to my logic. Let's leave this topic to experts and scientists. Let's not start taking sides because we like Al Gore or hate Al Gore!

Partisan hacks need to be ignored from both sides!
