I watched a panel discussion on TV at a friend's house (I have no TV) in 2005.

The Global Warming enthusiasts were near clinical depression because all the objective scientific data showed no increase in ambient air temperature in the preceeding decade. None. Squat. Zip. Nada.

Earlier in this thread, bb linked to some DOD satellite-based (ultra accurate) temperature data. No change in ambient air temperatures anywhere on the planet, above land or sea, since 1990. That is close to 20 years of no temperature increase.

In fact, in the last 4 years or so, there may have been a very slight drop.

In the 1970 the story was that air pollution was blocking the Sun and causing Global Cooling. They said it would cause a New Ice Age if we didn't stop using so much fossil fuel. This whole scheme is just a way to keep the populace perpetually aggitated.They can be manpulated more easily it seems.

We have important things to worry about. GW ain't one of them
