The so called "science experts" have been screaming about greenhouse gases warming up our climate for over a decade. Even Al Gore got into the act with a couple of books he wrote (although I have absolutely NO clue on what made him a climate expert!). Many were deceived into believing that mankind is mostly to blame for this and we here in America especially. With all our cars, and our indulgent way of living being touted as the main contributors to global warming. Never mind that our great earth goes through its own cycles of periodic weather changes, it's mankind's fault!
And because of this, the bleeding heart liberals and tree huggers won over reason in making us feel like we're ruining the planet in keeping ourselves warm in the winter with our oil and coal, we're too selfish in driving ourselves to work, or school, or shopping or Lord forbid.... VACATIONING! They made it so that there have been many changes made to our way of life that has cost us much in money and sacrifice....all under the guise that we must stop what we're doing otherwise it will kill our earth and us, with poisoning through greenhouse gases and wild climate changes!
Well, there has been a minority of us who have seen reason and said to all of the above: BULLCHIPS! This amounts to nothing more than a "Chicken Little" state of being and has not much to do with mankind, but has everything to do with earth and its own regular cycle of life! We were pooh-hooed and called names, uncaring and sometimes demonized as destroyers of the earth! Wellllllll....it now seems like we have been vindicated!!
The Economist has been fairly consistent in its stand that carbon dioxide emissions from man-made sources are the chief cause of global warming. But in an editorial this week, it sounds less certain.
Global warming predictions haven’t panned out as predicted in the past decade, but the why is a bit fuzzy, the magazine admits.
Greenhouse gas emissions have soared during the past 15 years, the magazine notes, with 100 billion tons of carbon having been added to the atmosphere between 2000 and 2010. Still, both air and ground temperatures during that time have remained virtually unchanged.
In fact, the editorial notes, surface temperatures have been at the bottom of the projected range of various models since 2005. If they remain flat, they will actually begin to fall below projections shortly.
“The mismatch between rising greenhouse-gas emissions and not-rising temperatures is among the biggest puzzles in climate science just now,” The Economist said.
But with global temperatures up by almost 1 degree Celsius in the last century, the magazine says, “the puzzle does need explaining.”
Buried deep in the highly technical piece, the magazine admits that evidence suggests something that global warming skeptics have long maintained: Natural variations in the earth’s climate likely play a bigger role than scientific models have said.
WOW! Imagine that, eh??!! The earth just may have NATURAL VARIATIONS in it's climate changes!! Wonder where we've heard that before?? OK...I'm gonna say it...
WE IN THE MINORITY TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
