Ted, > The first decade of the 21st century is the warmest since they started keeping records in 1850

Doesn't change the fact that we are in a local cooling cycle.


Where? Right around your house? Turn off the damn AC. LOL.

I don't doubt that man has had an effect on global temperatures, by the way. Maybe most of it is due to CO2, but when centuries of climate change are factored in, the effect of the human factor is a lot lower compared to what the zealots want us to believe.

I am not convinced that Man is the culprit either but I do know that Man is the one fouling up the air and water. What's wrong with cleaning up the air and water? And if it reduces the impact of GW, then its the icing on the cake.

"Doesn't change the fact that we are in a local cooling cycle."

What do you mean with this? It isn't like it was a smooth rise to 1998 and it has been all downhill from there. 1998 might have been the local peak, but the average is still creeping up. And that does not make a cooling cycle.
