Old news, as this was originally published in the Journal of Advances in Flatland Science by the noted scientist, Dr A Dodecahedron.

About 10 years ago I lived in Pete King's district on Long Island in New York. I think he has truly crossed over to the dark side with this one.

I for one will welcome our eventual Libertarian overlords. www.lp.org

I raise money for horse rescue work using Polaroid films. I have one of the tallest horses in the world and what child at a county fair can resist the opportunity to have their picture taken next to the giant horse. For this I use a Polaroid camera and watch the smiling children wander off waving their picture hoping to make it appear faster.

Switching to a Digital Printing system would take the fun out of it all.

Neon Lasers are cheaper and only project red light

Methane levels have been static for over a decade.
Global Temperature is dropping.
CO2 makes plants grow better.

Beef, its whats for dinner...

Perhaps it was signed by the Author? ;-)

So, now water vapor (H20) needs to be stopped? Dry up the oceans? Please....

Honestly, back to CO2. Did you know that the heat retention effect of CO2 decreases per unit of CO2 as the total concentration of CO2 increases? Or that at 430 ppmv CO2, we at top of the curve where further increases will only have a insignificant effect?

Oh yeah... what percentage of the total increase in CO2 is man-made?

I am looking at a little longer record that a mere 500 kiloyears.

Why not come up to speed on the truth about global warming with a layman's guide at http://junkscience.com/Greenhouse/guide.html

Dispel all that Al Gore BS from your thinking (Did you know the UK courts found that he intentionally distorted facts or lied in his movie?). All those disaster stories are based on the assumption that the warming is stoppable and that is based on the assumption that the warming is man-made.

BTW, which is worse? A cold world or a warm world? Considering Peak Oil is a handful of years away, I am not sure I want to face a cold world at all! If you mother is in the Northeast US, you should be more worried how she is going to afford to heat her house this winter.

Oh yeah, I am a former atmospheric scientist and the consensus does not exist.

Right you are... if a major load of particulates were injected into the upper atmosphere - usually by a volcano or a nuclear - we would and do see a slight cooling effect for a couple of years.

HOWEVER.... there has been no such load injected into the upper troposphere that would account for the downturn in the global temperature. Especially the drop in the last 12 months.

On top of all this, the sun reached it's lowest output in the 11-yr solar cycle last year and still has not turned back on, but that is too recent to make much of a difference in the past 10 yrs and according to Al Gore and his friends, the sun does not have much influence on the global temperature

So, despite the increase in CO2, the planet is cooling. Amazing, huh?
