I just read an interesting article by a scientist studying cooling periods in the earth's history. He was sayin that if ice breaks off from the poles and melts in the oceans in significant amounts, it will cause cooling. The warm currents would be disrupted, and it will get cold fast. When everyone starts moving north to escape the heat, might be time to fade that, and move south.

Yes, the last decade saw global cooling, not warming

About that trading system...I refuse to show you how I got the results I did but trust me, the numbers don't lie. You will be rich!
You can have links to any of the source data you wish -- here are some of the major links to sites holding any data you wish to read:

Large-scale model (Reanalysis) output
These are weather models which have the real world observations assimilated into the solution to provide a âbest guessâ of the evolution of weather over time (although pre-satellite era estimates (before 1979) are less accurate).
* ERA40 (1957-2001, from ECMWF)

* NCEP (1948-present, NOAA), NCEP-2
* MERRA NASA GSFC
* JRA-25 (1979-2004, Japanese Met. Agency)
* North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR)
Large-scale model (GCM) output
These is output from the large scale global models used to assess climate change in the past, and make projections for the future. Some of this output is also available via the Data Visualisation tools linked below.
* CMIP3 output (~20 models, as used by IPCC AR4) at PCMDI
* GISS ModelE output (includes AR4 output as well as more specific experiments)
* GFDL Model output

There is much more. Shall we continue or are you 'settled'?
Once upon a time the âscience was settledâ that the world was flat. The âscience was settledâ that the world was the center of the universe. Whoops.
Hey moron, science never said it was flat it was the church of superstition that insisted it was flat you moron..The church condemned Galilleo and did not admit they were stupidly wrong till the 1990s -almost 400yrs after the fact.You luddites are are delusional.Why do you hate science.
NASA,NOAA all agree gw is happening.
Please show me a peer reviewed showing global warming is wrong.

Wow I guess I really am ignorant. I didn't realize the beef between Galileo & the Catholic church was that he claimed the earth was round.
damn that public education
It's not a matter of proving whether we create global warming or not, it's a risk management issue.
Even if it's a 50% chance we are the cause it's in our best interests to mitigate the risks by changing our ways, not waste time debating whether or not we are the cause.
Why not create a cleaner more energy-efficient world?

This is an excellent point. However, it's the solution to the so called problem that is the huge problem. It's nothing but a big transfer of wealth scam.
And when the solution is the goal far in advance of the problem, it's very easy to get scientists to toe your idealogical line when it's your funding stream that feeds their family.

The MMGW hoax hoax (you heard it here, folks) is a retention of wealth scam. Big, dirty oil, gas, and other industries are spreading FUD as fast and as far as they can.
What's the difference between our dirty, present industry that is creating jobs and making profits, and a future greener industry that is creating jobs and making profits?
