Global Warming Running out of Steam?


The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine this week announced that 31,072 scientists have signed a petition stating that "… There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse gases is causing, or will cause in the future, catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate..."

Wow, if that leaves you confused, join the club. I thought the argument was over, and everyone had agreed that man is responsible for global warming.

Apparently not… recent direct polling of climate scientists has shown that about 30% are "sceptical" of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming.

Meanwhile, in London, something resembling smog has returned…

For the more technically minded, you will appreciate the simple message this chart from New Zealand demonstrates when it compares reality to computer-generated models of global temperatures.

All in all it would appear that the great global-warming hoax is being exposed.

Question is, what will be the next media-generated scare story?
