Lets just keep our fingers crossed that Habibullah Abdusamatov is right eh?

The trouble the denialists face is planting your head in the sand and ignoring the facts, or being plain disingenuous, can give the socialists even more justification for their taxes and carbon credits when proved right. Rather then just fight the plain fact that human activity does indeed effect the climate, why not be a political force into what projects money and effort is channeled?

I am totally against the "carbon credits" B/S. It is just an excuse for celebrities to fly around the planet giving speeches on saving the planet and still feel good about their excessive lifestyles at the same time.

Maybe some money could be spent on another trip to the moon??

Boreholes on the Moon could solve climate puzzle
05 January 2008

Here's another reason to go back to the moon: it may help settle a climate change controversy.

Climate modellers use ice cores, tree rings and sunspot data to see how much solar energy reached Earth centuries ago and whether it affected global temperatures. Such methods are far from reliable, though: sunspot data is incomplete, while conditions on Earth can skew results.

Bob Cahalan at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and colleagues calculated that boreholes on the moon just 10 metres deep would provide a temperature record stretching back to the 1600s, and so help researchers gauge solar energy in the past more accurately (Geophysical Research Letters, DOI: 10.1029/2007GL032171).
