The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Now, now, NA.....I can post many a link from respected scientists that not only say global warming is stopping or slowing or not nearly as catostrophic as one might be led to believe by those who put forth such catastrophic forecasts, but that man can do nothing to stop it or make it happen.

No increase in temps since 1998

This guy here is just an atmospheric scientist at MIT:

Climate of fear

While this next report doesn't discount manmade greenhouse gases, it talks about the history of natural warming and cooling the planetary cycle:

Is Global warming nature's work?

The sun is not a constant, and the energy (and therefore heat) output varies greatly. There have been periods of massive global cooling and warming that predate the industrial revolution (and even the presence of man on the planet).

While the global temperature is a degree or so warmer than 100 years ago, I am not anywhere near believing that this is man caused, particularly looking at the fact that the average global temperature has not increased since 1998 (see the first link).

We can, of course, continue to trade links on the subject. My point is simply that the scientific school of thought is not all in one corner on this.
