Climate change confirmed but global warming is cancelled

by late last year we not only knew IPCC forecasts of atmospheric global warming were wrong; we were beginning to understand why they are wrong.

The climate is not highly sensitive to CO2 warming because water vapour is a damper against the warming effect of CO2.

That is why history is full of Ice Ages - where other effects, such as increased reflection from the ice cover, do provide positive feedback - while we do not hear about Heat Ages. The Medieval Warm Period, for example, is known for being benignly warm - not dangerously hot.

We live on a benign planet - except when it occasionally gets damned cold.

A great many founts of authority, from the Royal Society to the UN, most heads of government along with countless captains of industry, learned professors, commentators and journalists will be profoundly embarrassed. Let us hope it is a prolonged and chastening experience.

That fucker lost all credibility when he didn't "walk" into office in 2000, following Clinton's 80% approval rating. What a loser...I was fully expecting a landslide back then, and the Dems totally blew it.

Well gaaawwwwwly. All those history buffs who paid attention to climate patterns were right. Who'd a thunk it?

"The game" is rigged I tell ya. If you don't believe me just look at this years election process...The Mod Squad. :D

The Dems can't find a decent candidate, because the far left is running the party. The only reason McCain will win, is because he's a moderate. In 2000 and 2004, there's no reason the Reps should have even had a chance. The Dem's won't let a moderate run, and it will cost them again. Just look at who runs the party, and where the money comes from...
