Washington Times - Obama "cools to global warming"
Bowing to stiff opposition on Capitol Hill, President Obama on Tuesday backed away from his call to deal with climate change as part of the budget, saying he never expected to get everything he asked by demanding that Congress use its major spending blueprint to act on health care, education, alternative energy and deficit reduction.

So far, the Obama administration has failed to provide a proposal to Capitol Hill, frustrating lawmakers who say that providing a detailed proposal would be more helpful. Last week, Rep. John Dingell, (D., Mich.), who until recently led the Energy and Commerce Committee, called for the Obama administration to play a leading role.

“I have told the administration that they should do that both on this and on health and on other things, and they should do it at the earliest minute,” Mr. Dingell told reporters on Friday. “If they don’t, the drafting or the completing of the legislation will be very difficult.”

Global warming forecasts indicate that about 20,000sq.km of coastal land in the delta will be submerged in 10 years due to climate change.
Global cooling overlooked -- chicagotribune.com
I was astounded that the blurb on sunspot activity in Sunday's weather section didn't generate a front-page story.

We have been led to believe that "Global Warming" is settled science and that it is all mankind's fault. From this data, one might conclude that the sun had something to do with temperatures here on Earth.

According to the graphics presented, "Global Cooling" may be in our future. Perhaps that is why we are now seeing far more use of the term "Climate Change" in lieu of "Global Warming"--so that activists can make the smooth shift into blaming mankind for cooling if evidence starts demonstrating that trend.
