some inconvieniant facts

Yes, there has been some warming in the past century or so, about 1 degree Fahrenheit. Before that, from about 1250 to 1850, we were in a cool period known as the Little Ice Age. Much of the recent warming actually occurred from about 1895 to 1940, with the biggest warming trend from about 1910 to 1935, well before the significant increase in fossil fuel use.
The year 1934 was actually the warmest year, with 1998 coming in second, and temperatures have declined slightly since then. Greenland reached its highest temperature in 1941 and has been cooling ever since. Temperatures have actually cooled slightly since 1998, very likely signaling another ice age similar to the Little Ice Age.

The Great global warming update:

'The Great Global Warming Swindle'

A juicy new documentary called The Great Global Warming Swindle has just been broadcast (on 8 March, 2007) on the UK's Channel 4.

Based on the thesis presented in the book The Chilling Star by Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark, the documentary claims that humans have absolutely no control over Global Warming and that all the hype about it is simply propoganda inspired by the huge amounts of money given to what's become a popular cause.

I caught an interview with one of the scientists involved with it on CNN on Thursday night and everything he had to say made total sense. The argument the scientists are making is that the sun impacts on clouds and clouds impact on how the suns rays get distributed, which results in changes to the earths temperature.

They're saying that carbon dioxide omissions have a miniscule, if any, impact on this process and that it's proven by the fact that most Global Warming took place prior to 1940 - before people started pumping out CO2 gasses.

The mouldy oldy Einstein dude being interviewed (I can't remember his name) said that huge amunts of information gets kept from the public about what's actually happening with the earth and used Antarctica as an example.

He referred to all the media reports about the icecaps melting and the pictures they show etc and said that these are simply around the edges of Antarctica and that at it's core it's actually getting colder. He also said that something we're never told is that the earth's global temperature has remained constant for the past five years.
