Amos, you said that Gore "is saying "Cut bachk significantly on carbon emissions." "

I had no idea that Al Gore knew some Klingon words. Fascinating! ;-D

I think that what we've got right now, folks, is a new global cooling phase, and it's due to a recent dramatic reduction in sunspot activity. Since the official cry of the media propaganda lemmings these days is "Global Warming!!!", there has been a profound resistance to recognizing that the warming phase of the early years of this century (when the sun was more active than now) is over. We're into another cooling cycle, and it has very little to do with CO2 levels. It has to do with the sun.

Now jump around, wave your arms wildly, and yell at me for awhile. Quote the official line. Go ballistic. ;-D

But remember, we'll all know for sure in a few years from now. And my prediction is that the present Hoo-Hah about "global warming" will by then have faded into the past and been mostly forgotten, and some new popular orthodoxy will have come into vogue instead and have been accepted by almost everyone, and no one will be talking anymore about global warming. No, they'll be spending new billions on some other mass panic attack.

Wait and see.

In fact, cut this post out, date it, and stick it on your stove...then check back with me in 5 to 10 years from now and we'll see if I was right. If I was, you can shake my hand and say "You were right.". If not, we'll do it the other way around. ;-)
