little boy who cried wolf, the day will come when they want everyone to listen to them about Global warming and nobody is going to listen, OH wait, i think that time has come and gone.

Can't wait to see how the hold outs try show this guy with all his accolades is a loony. Too much invested in this junk science(?) for people to just agree and drop it.

ITs not that shocking really and they should not take it hard. I mean its not like its the first ever scientific theory that was proven wrong.

the world was once flat.
the earth was the center of everything.
a person could go on and on

You can't squeeze oil from a rock....

The data suggested nothing but this conclusion. At least the evidence was piling up so high it couldn't be ignored anymore.

The'll just say he was finally compromized by "big oil".

If they could only find those missing classified climate change study files that one dude lost now! LOL

$1:

In the past year, two other groups of scientists--one in Germany, the second in the United States--have come to the same conclusion: Warming is on hold, likely because of a cooling of the Earth's upper oceans, but it will resume.

But how is that knowable? How can Latif and the others state with certainty that after this long and unforeseen cooling, dangerous man-made heating will resume? They failed to observe the current cooling for years after it had begun, how then can their predictions for the resumption of dangerous warming be trusted?

Maybe it is going to be a short term cooling phase but that alone would suggest that the catastrophe predicted by the Rev Al Gore is not yet nigh - and secondly that we don't have to destroy the world's economies - at least not yet - to reverse a warming that is on hold.

Regardless, preparation for the future is key to our survival.
I've long thought these guys to be over reactive, it's only been proven time and again with the so called experts not agreeing and the about faces that have been happening lately.
No one can deny though that if we don't find a clean renewable energy source we eventually will have to face the concequences of our actions, the key word being eventually

Choban, I agree we need to clean up our act but lets not get pollution confused with global warming. We have a HUGE impact on one, but very little on the other.

I agree, you'll notice I didn't mention either, nor the rampant use of our natural resources.
I for one am convinced that global warming is a cycle that occurs naturally on earth and it's gonna come or it's not.

Fail. You'd think he declared GW/GCC an error. He did not. This is what happens when you take a shill at his word and not a group of Experts. They misrepresent an Issue/statement and you eat it up.

[ridenrain]

.. but he wasn't a shill when he was one of that group of experts though..
