Global Warming Science and Public Policy - "Artic Icecap is Melting, Even in Winter"
The truth: This article, like so many on “global warming”, is rooted in the naïve fallacy that the fact of warming tells us that the cause is anthropogenic rather than natural. We begin this Scarewatch, therefore, with a few truths about how much warmer the climate was before humankind could possibly have affected it significantly (or at all).
Surrey enjoys first October snowfall in 121 years

Environmentalist, economist, and climatologist challenge global warming theories at Southeastern forum
Dr. David Legates, a climatologist and a professor of geography at University of Delaware, downplayed human involvement in global warming during his October 10 presentation. The rise in the Earth's atmospheric temperature is due to an increase in the sun's temperature, he said. Dr. Legates presented several charts that supported this theory; one showed a striking correlation between the hot and cooler temperature cycles of the sun and the hot and cold temperature cycles of the Earth's atmosphere.
