How inconvenient!

Since Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore produced his movie An Incomprehensible
Untruth, er, Inconvenient Truth predicting the imminent end of the world
through frying and drowning caused by man-made global warming, things haven't
exactly gone according to plan. The generally accepted prediction has been
that as carbon dioxide levels continue to go through the roof (or should
that be the stratosphere) the climate would continue to warm as a result,
ice caps would continue to melt (with the North Pole becoming ice-free by
2008), polar bears would become extinct, glaciers would disappear and seas
would continue to rise (by 20 feet in the near future, said Gore); and with
an unchallengeable scientific consensus that life on earth would gradually
succumb to the catastrophic consequences of greed, big oil and the cosmic
and diabolical evil of western capitalism.

A whole new industry has grown up of 'carbon trading' to reduce those fatal
emissions, which threatens to cripple the economies of the west. Global
warming protection measures have brought California to the edge of
bankruptcy. In Britain, where climate change is now a Cabinet portfolio,
climate change policies already account for about 14% of the average
domestic electricity bill and 21% of the average business electricity bill,
with an expected rise to 55% of the average business electricity bill by
2020; now the aim is to cut carbon emissions by a crippling 80 per cent..

But according to satellite data the earth has cooled -- with 2008 the
coldest for ten years; global sea ice levels now equal those seen 29 years
ago; sea level rise has slowed down by 20 per cent; of the 13 populations of

That's obvious, you also gave up thought years ago.
