The Planet Is Done Warming Up; We Are Now Entering An Era Of Global Cooling
Scientists around the world are now confirming that we are going to enter another "mini ice age" within the next decade because of reduced solar activity. We haven't had any global temperature increases since 1998, contrary to popular and political opinion, and many areas on the planet have been experiencing exceptionally cold winters in the last few years.

If scientists understand so much and are such experts on this topic, why do we keep throwing money at this "problem"?

Oh, I know. They don't know ANYTHING for certain. All they can do is predict what is going to happen. Of course they're counting on history for that. What does history tell us? That NONE of this "climate change" is new. NONE OF IT.

Humans are simply NOT that significant in terms of changing the weather. Conspiracy theorists will tell you that we've (military) been at if for decades and guess what? NO RESULTS!!! Yet, environmentalists would like us to believe that SUV's and CO2 are capable of more destruction than the most destructive minds on the planet? Blah!

There is no man-made global warming. There is no man-made climate change. There is nothing happening with the weather on this globe that man can control.

The environmentalist have it covered, grokit, the mini ice age is caused by global warming.

Regardless of the fact that these events have been going on since time began. It's man that causes it.
It is way beyond our understanding and they know far better.

Global warming is a hoax. Google "ice age", "1974" and "Time magazine". Wacko environmentalists tried cooling first and I guess it did not stick so they turned to "warming". Follow the money. Al Gore is an investor in a firm that sells these "carbon credits". You can google that also. I am amazed at the arrogance of some people. They thing we can "save the planet". This planet has withstood meteor strikes, 4.5 billion years of solar radiation and yet some people think earth needs our help tp survive. Besides, if the planet did warm, would that be such a bad thing? A more temperate planet would mean more moisture in the air which would result in deserts becoming land that could grow crops. I'm sure all the people saved from starvation and freezing to death would more than make up for the "mass drownings and heat related deaths"? Ridiculous? Yes. But so is this hysteria of "global warming. I recently saw an article in the paper describing increased likliehood of gall stones because of glocal warming. Just silliness.

P.S. Yes, I have realized that I added this to the "disagree" side in error. Just did not feel like retyping the whole thing,

Let's see, grokit claims "scientists around the world" are concluding we're cooling but cites NOTHING, and sander claims the scientists say we're warming and cites AN OUTSTANDING SOURCE OF EVIDENCE.

NO CONTEST.

I will agree though with keepmindok that we don't fully understand these processes. But seriously, there's enough alarming stuff going on for presumption to fall in favor of the greenhouse effect theoriests. I mean huge chunks of ice at the poles are collapsing into the sea, entire polar species are being decimated and threatened with extinction, clearly something is happening.

Even in my city it's a funny coincidence that the weather has been quite different, kind of loopy, the last 10 years versus what was the norm 20 years ago.

 Grenache, don't be a TOOL and do some research! If web sites are what you need, here are EIGHT "outstanding sources of evidence" (including NASA's if you like the feds);

CONTEST!:

"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded in 2007 that warming of the climate system is now “unequivocal,” based on observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level (IPCC, 2007)."

 The IPCC said it is "unequivocal" huh? Well, I guess that settles that. We all know how the United Nations ( Of which the IPCC is a part of ) is interested in truth.
