My annual post on global warming

The claim: There has been no global warming over the last 15 years.
The rebuttal: You are so full of it.

Guess you're no fan of James Delingpole, are you?

Well, I'm skeptical of the skeptics. That is, I'm skeptical of claims that there's no global warming going on; the Northwest Passage is open, Greenland is able to plant crops they haven't been able to plant in centuries, etc. On the other hand, I've also grown skeptical of the claim that it's caused by human activity, and I'm contemptuous of the claim that we have to immediately change how we live to prevent it from becoming a disaster. The scientists, politicians, movie stars, and musicians who demand that I change my lifestyle but are unwilling to change theirs shows me that they don't really believe what they're shoveling.

Let's go with Rick Santorum! it's all a hoax masterminded by a conspiracy of thousands of scientists from many different disciplines who are working together in a way the UN can never do. Follow our God-given right to dominate and exploit the earth!

Indeed, let's go with Santorum. If he wins, the reaction of people like anonymous will be worth it. ;)

Jim S,

I think many skeptics nowadays do not claim that Global Cool/Warming isn't occurring but that we haven't the knowledge to include why it is, and that the greenhouse gas and Anthropological factor are overestimated for political claims and the peoples ignorance as to what is Climate-Science and Climate-Engineering.
