Now, I thought that because global warming stopped and the climate stabilized, and then started cooling, they were going to use "climate change" now. That way, every wind can be attributed to a changing climate.

Though, it is nice to see the Indians getting some "climate change" love too.


Apparently Obama is considering a plan to seed clouds and fix the problem by reflecting more sunlight? Talk about climate change.. "We don't know who first scorched the sky..."

We can't accurately predict weather past two weeks, or figure out "climate change" enough to explain it without using pejoratives to people asking questions, but we're going to FIX the climate with geo-engineering?

A catastrophe waiting to happen.

I thought it was a useful article. I had no idea there were so many cows in India. I would have thought beef-exporting countries had the most.

Two of my favorites. Time is one of the main offenders. Number one talks about wild fires in Aus, around since before humans. Number two about how we are going to starve because a study of climate models says

Quote:
the Program for Food Security and the Environment at Stanford University, analyzed data from 23 climate models and found a more than 90% chance that by the end of the century, average growing-season temperatures would be hotter than the most extreme levels recorded in the past.


Please, give me a study that shows even 50% of climate change models turned out to be true.

A moderately well informed person can go through line for line and pretty much debunk every assertion the author makes. To the average person it seems like an overwhelming body of evidence.
