The earth goes through warming and cooling phases all the time. In this year (2013), we are just exiting a warming phase, which has lasted since, the 70's i'd say. from 1940-1970, people were worried of global cooling. This was actually a cooling phase. IN the 80's, we were finally into a warming phase. This awoke people and started a riot on global warming. These phases last about 20-50 years. Its just how the world works, it's been working this way for billons of years. It also explains ice ages, and warming of our planet. We can't really effect our planet so that it's always warm. Yes, during a cool phase there could be a hot day. And there could be a cold day in a warm phase.
We also are doing things, like a huge increase in electric cars, recycling, all that stuff, just makes mother nature quite happy. :D So, don't be that alarmed by global warming. Let the world go through its warm and cool phases. At the end of these phases, its usually the peak. Like really cool in a cool phase, or really warm in a warm phase. We are just about to enter a cool phase. So, our world is in good hands. :)

I know it is real because it is.

Studying the earth's temperatures and making assumptions about what they mean is a shell game. Making sweeping policy decisions on these assumptions is lunacy.

During several periods of our planet's history, Co2 levels were as much as 20 times higher than now. During these times bio-diversity flourished.
From the beginning, the killers of life on earth have been massive chunks of space rock. At least 3 times asteroids have wiped out most of the life on the planet.
Co2, 20 times higher than now, caused no harm.
I observe that we spend nothing to detect and deflect these planet killers - but spend hundreds of billions on “climate change”.
Madness.
Myopic climatology serves only those seeking grants, tenure and political power.

Taking a look at the evidence presented, we can say that the Earth is warming. Global warming is, indeed, real. The article does not, however, say that we should immediately give up all fossil fuels, as Mr. Schaefer interpreted it to. This article isn't a call to action in itself, though it is a report of where we are, and that there might be good reason to lower the rate of consumption of noxious fume-producing material.

Thanks, Abby Durham

The Warmist, Climate Gurus, call all who disagree with their theory of “Anthropogenic Global Warming”, “Deniers”. They proudly pontificate that, “The science is in and is conclusive. The end of civilization is inevitable unless we immediately give up fossil fuels”.
Ummm.... A couple of years back I remember them saying, “The ecosystem in the Gulf of Mexico is destroyed - it will take over 100 years to recover - if ever.”
These same scientists have been spending millions of your tax dollars, for the past year, trying to find any evidence that the spill ever happened. I guess they never figured on Ma Nature, warm water and bacteria.... Who knew?....Well, anyone who bothered to look at the fact that 75% of all oil in the sea comes from NATURAL SEEPAGE and about 20% from urban run off and only 5% from extraction and transport of petroleum products. By the by - the amount of oil in the sea would increase if we took the platforms off line - NATURAL SEEPAGE would simply increase. I wonder if Al Gore knows that?
Remember 20 years ago, when the the “science was settled” regarding the “holes” in the ozone layer?....Hmmm, another ooops! Now, all we have to show for that P.C. B.S. Science panic attack are inefficient and more expensive refrigerators and air conditioners. As well as landfills full of perfectly good refrigerators.
Well, I’ve gotta run, time to throw some more tires on my smoldering burn pile. Every little bit helps in delaying that next Ice Age as long as possible - just doing my bit.
