Note the precipitous cooling trend since 2000. *Show me any other place on

Shows cooling since 2002 and that current temperature is around the average
since 1979. *No crisis to be seen.


Statements like yours above separate you, who
interpet your hormones, from the scientists,
who use statistics.

Given the variance in global climate data sets,
anyone who claims a climate trend on only 8 or
6 years of data is an uneducated fool.

Your local junior college probably offers an
introductory course in statistics. There you
would learn about variance and significance.

In the real world,
outside the fossil fuel industry's spin and lies,
global mean surface temperatures continue to rise.
