April 4, 2008, 1:28 p.m.Great article, BoBo. These glow bull warming nuts will never concede it's that it's getting colder not warmer even if they're standing in snow up to their butts on July 4th.

April 4, 2008, 2:20 p.m.FTA: "When you look at climate change you should not look at any particular year," he said. "You should look at trends over a pretty long period and the trend of temperature globally is still very much indicative of warming."
Yep, over the "pretty long period" of about 18,000 years the earth has been warming, allowing the rise of civilization and even Al Gore.

April 4, 2008, 2:33 p.m.Can we please have a bit of honesty in reporting, BoBo?
You "forget" to mention the following information from the article:
--The decade 1998 - 2007 was the warmest on record.
--The current weather is dominated by La Nina (powerful and temporary cooling of the Pacific).
--"best estimate for 2008 [is] about 0.4C above the 1961-1990 average, and higher than this if you compared it with further back in the 20th Century."

April 4, 2008, 3:25 p.m.It's all been said before..... For my jury, when the "scientists" can ALL agree (you know, like gravity, speed of light, etc), then I'll be worried. At the moment, this is not the case.
I have no doubt that man is a very negative impact on the planet (in a multitude of ways), but on this one ??? See above....

April 4, 2008, 4:21 p.m.I wonder how Al the Bore is handling this inconvenient truth? Too bad the nazi liberals had to make something political out of it just because it's a liberal who dreamed up this crap. It would have been much better if it was just informational.

April 4, 2008, 6:43 p.m.Go back to the mid seventies when Time magazine had many many covers on global cooling. The climate is always warming or cooling. That is called a cycle. A segment of that cycle is being defined as a trend. It is morning and the sun is rising does not mean it will continue to rise. A rooster get's conditioned to think that it creates the sunrise by it's call in the morning. He has no more affect on the sunrise than we have on global warming. Stop paying scientist to give you the results you want and they will become objective. If their next paycheck depends on there being a man made problem that is the conclusion they will try to make.

April 4, 2008, 7:11 p.m.Dion you are deflecting. Drop the talking points stand back and think. It might hurt at first but like any unused muscle in time you will get the use of it back.

April 4, 2008, 7:18 p.m.it is funny to me how, when one questions man-made global warming (let alone warming of any stripe), all the believers scoff and try to shout that person down as unwilling to look at any evidence, facts, etc. But, when presented with facts that don't mesh with their conclusions (flat temp trend, no increase in ocean temp), the believers just shout down those facts as bogus.
Which are really the ones that won't let anhy facts interfere with their opinions?

April 4, 2008, 8:43 p.m.This story is really depressing. Now my carbon credits won't be worth squat.

April 4, 2008, 10:22 p.m.But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.
Or ten
Or fifteen
Or twenty
We Know it Will Happen, and when it does all you Deniers will have to eat Crow!

April 5, 2008, 1:08 p.m.So as soon as we have a dip in temperature good old BoBo desperately siezes upon this information to bolster up his rather weak argument. Sorry to disappoint you but the overall trend is definately an increase and we have made a major contribution or do you wish to ignore the vast majority of the scientific world? .... Seems you do.
Perhaps the news that hardly any new ice is forming at the poles is one of those 100% certain facts that he BoBo conveniently ignores.

April 5, 2008, 2:09 p.m.Han,
Who is using the cycle of earth temps politically? Consensus among experts that it is manmade? WRONG. Why have you closed your mind on this? You looked like you might have been alive in the seventies. Remember the scare the other way(cooling)? Why is it not a cycle? I have a degree in Climatology and I am just amazed how this stuff is bought hook, line and sinker. It isn't a crisis. It is a cycle! Personally I prefer global warming to cooling. My heating bill is just outrageous!
Hey does anybody have trouble with propeller being sloooooooooooooooooow?

April 5, 2008, 10:27 p.m.Some needs to tell Ted Turner, he thinks in a few years the world will end with a few that survive. Those left according to Turner will be cannibals.
