IF we DO start heading toward an ice age, I'll be waiting for Algore to say that industrialization is causing it. Ever since Arafat one the Nobel, the so called "Peace Prize" is about as important in my estimation as one of those awards one might get at the Special Olympics just for breathing. And, no, I never participated in the Special Olympics.

midleft, quite the little temper-tantrum:
"More predictable lies and propaganda from the psychotic right wing head in the sand idiots who fund charlatans to write these non-scientific method based reports using massaged data."
Did you read the article? It simply reported the temperature measurements from official recording stations around the world. Are you saying those who report the facts are lying? Or perhaps the instruments around the world were tampered with? Or are you simply annoyed at the current scientific facts?

Mindlessleft,
Oh please. Since this fiction called global warming was brought up I've been asking to see your hard scientific data. They generally present "evidence". 100 years of history, a bunch of ice data that really can't be accurately proven and then computer models that "prove" we're warming up. The planet is over 4,000,000,000,000 years old. Basing radical change based on this "huge" amount of evidence doesn't meet any scientific standards. That is other than fictional authors, left leaning media and Al Gore.
As to your other comments concerning tobacco,if you're talking smokers, I would agree, the industry didn't want to admit there is no safe way to smoke. If you're one of the nuts on the left claiming second hand smoke kills, I ask you show me the study. I worked in insurance. We tried to figure out how to increase premiums of the nonsmokers living with smokers. There was no hard evidence from a 10 year study. Where's your proof.

here we go again.... You guys are bringing up Anthony Watts and Stephen McIntrye, the meterologist and the owner of an oil and gas exploration company CGX. Do you ever check your sources???
You keep bringing up the same phonies. Sometimes I really feel sad for you guys... Please wake up to reality.

Yes, but even if the next ice age starts tomorrow, the libtards will blame that on human activities as well. No matter what happens it is all our fault and we must repent and suffer. They are worse than the religious wackos they love to wail about. They just have a different religion: The Church of Man is Evil. At least Western Man, the third world people are innocent. Of course when Western society committs suicide due to it's feelings of guilt, Third World Man will take over and belch out more pollution than we ever dreamed of.....

This article proves NOTHING!!! He looked at one blip rather than a trend line which is more accurate. A blip does not make a trend. Look at the increase over the last century nad the fact that 7 out of the last ten years have been the warmest in recorded history. Again you bring false science. Nothing new for the Repugnicans. If they said the sky was green red polka dots, you'd believe that too

Sorry, but I think I'm gonna have to side with the consensus of several thousand scientists all over the world rather than a handful of paid shills who are simply trying to make noise and muddy the waters. I find it hilarious that neocons have no use for science--until they have a use for it. Anyone with a brain can see that it's those who are concerned only with the economy and making a buck (to the exclusion of all other considerations) who should be suspect. So, in a way, the issue of science is almost a side issue. We just have to ask ourselves which leaders in our country believe in selling their souls to the devil if they think they can earn a profit and which are trying to protect our planet. Articles like this are just noise, Bobo.

What will he do with those carbon credits now. The Russian scientists are saying that a new ice age is coming. The average temperature of the earth has been stable for the last eight years or so with this year dropping. So now we go back to the 70's and say they were right. When do we get off of the merry-go-round.

Yeah, all this worry about nothing. The world has never experience run-away global warming so obviously it never will. And another thing, all this worry about nuclear war. What good evidencee is there that nuclear war will ever happen. H bombs have been around a long time and they haven't used one yet and even if they do scientists are divided on the likely result. Can you believe people are actually concerned about an asteroid hitting the earth? Yes, we could theoretically divert a large body but why even think about it. The world recovered the last time it happened. Wake me up when every single scientist agrees on every single detail. I'll go buy a Prius.

Actually, global warming WILL happen - in 7.6 BILLION years:
http://optuszoo.news.ninemsn.com.au/article.asp...
"Our planet faces a fiery doom inside the sun unless future generations work out how to change its orbit.
New calculations by University of Sussex astronomers predict that the earth will not only be burnt to a cinder, but will also be swallowed up by the sun in about 7.6 billion years.
Emeritus reader in astronomy Professor Robert Smith and his team had previously calculated that the earth might escape ultimate destruction.
However, new calculations now take into account the effect of drag caused by the outer atmosphere of the dying sun."

One season, for one year, in a few parts of the world does not disprove global warming.. But im probably wasting my time saying this since the people who buy into this stuff cannot realize that seasonal weather and global climate are not the same thing.
Would also like to point out that according to the NCDC at NOAA. Europe and Asia still had a warmer than normal Jan. this year. And in fact Australia had its warmest winter in recorded history. 5-7°F above normal to be precise.

Hold on skippy. You're using a few years of temperature changes and trying to claim the same thing. On your other comments, has there ever been a drought in Africa, Australia or any other part of the world?
I'm surprised you didn't try to tell us about how much the ice has receded from the Polar regions. Oh, that's right, it isn't. In fact it's increased. Perhaps we're seeing weather cycles. Gee, I can't imagine the person who might have mentioned that on other discussions.

I find it amusing that aidenag says it is only one season one year, then he himself points out Europe and Asia this January....hey aid, that is only one season one year as well. I guess that works for you when you use it, but not others.

The national outlook for average autumn maximum temperatures (March to May) shows a moderate shift in the odds favouring cooler than normal conditions in southern Queensland and northern NSW.
The pattern of seasonal maximum temperature odds across Australia is a result of the combined effects from above average temperatures in the central to southeast Indian Ocean, and the cooler than average temperatures in the equatorial Pacific (La Niña).
Averaged over March to May, the chances are between 30 to 40% for above-normal maximum temperatures over the southern half of Queensland and the northeast half of NSW (see map). This means that below-normal maximum temperatures have a 60 to 70% chance of occurring.So for every ten years with ocean patterns like the current, about six or seven autumns are expected to be cooler than average over these parts of the country, with about three or four being warmer.

January 2008 - Cooler and Wetter than Average in Western U.S., Warmer in Northeast 31st Warmest Globally
The contiguous U.S. temperature during January 2008 was near average, according to an analysis by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville NC. Temperatures across much of the western U.S. were cooler than average, while temperatures were warmer than average in the Northeast, which had its 20th warmest January on record. An active pattern brought heavy rain and snow to the West and helped ease drought conditions in parts of the region, but 26% of the nation remained in some stage of drought. The global average surface temperature in January was the 31st warmest on record, based on preliminary data.

Global Highlights
The combined global land and ocean surface temperature for January was the 31st warmest on record, 0.32°F/0.18°C above the 20th century mean. Temperatures were colder than average across large parts of central and southern Asia. The January global land surface average was below the 20th century mean (-0.02°F/-0.01°C) for the first time since 1982.
Large parts of China struggled with a series of severe winter storms that crippled transportation at the start of the Chinese New Year holiday, but it was the warmest January on record in Australia. According to the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), temperatures were 3-4°C (5-7°F) above average across large areas in Western and Central Australia. The January 2008 average temperature for the nation was 1.23°C (2.21°F) above the 1961-1990 mean, which exceeded the previous record of 1.16°C ( 2.09°F) set in January 1999.

La Niña, the cold phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, persisted in the equatorial Pacific, damping ocean surface temperatures. The global average ocean surface temperatures (SSTs) in January were the 17th warmest on record, with a monthly anomaly of 0.45°F/0.25°C above the 20th century mean.

Peer-reviewing on global warming/climate changes is now starting to force the date used to be exposed. Many early studies depended on secret data so it could not be reviewed.
How many of the early scare studies still hold up? How does Gore stand up with his movie? If science is not intimidated by scare tactics, theories slowly start to evolve and then predict the future. Just like predicting the weather. Oh yea, this squeezes the people that have a fix to their theory that requires the use of lots of money for them to spend.

The person who wrote the report that was picked up by BoBo's site says"
I wish to state for the record, that this statement is not mine: "â;;a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years"
There has been no "erasure". This is an anomaly with a large magnitude, and it coincides with other anecdotal weather evidence. It is curious, it is unusual, it is large, it is unexpected, but it does not "erase" anything. I suggested a correction to DailyTech and they have graciously complied.

We are all going to die , crops will freeze , Heating Oil will , skyrocket , forest will be cleared for use of the Wood for heating Homes .
If you drive a Prius you will be flogged for not caring about the Planet !
Wool will become as expensive as Oil once was , $100 per once of Fiber Weight .

Shouldn't we be focusing on something we can all agree on?
Let's start with skyrocketing oil and emphasize renewables.
No one wants pollution. Let's focus on cleaner energy and reducing emissions
Let's stop trying to scare people into changing behavior. If it becomes evident that the "global warming" proponents are wrong, people will stop listening to the important information on the changes that we can all agree on
The major problem with this type of "movement" - too many people are in it to make some money.
If we emphasize what we can all agree on, we are going to end up with a cleaner environment and less dependence on foreign oil
