The Press Association: PM doesn't get climate issue: aide
The Government's top environmental adviser has accused Gordon Brown of failing to see the importance of the environment and hindering work to prevent climate change.

Sir Jonathon Porritt, the chairman of the Government's Sustainable Development Commission, told The Independent that as Chancellor, Mr Brown did not "get" climate change and saw the environment as "middle-class stuff".
Global Warming » Maunder Minimum
Other historical sunspot minima have been detected either directly or by the analysis of carbon-14 in tree rings; these include the Spörer Minimum (1450–1540), and less markedly the Dalton Minimum (1790–1820). In total there seem to have been 18 periods of sunspot minima in the last 8,000 years, and studies indicate that the sun currently spends up to a quarter of its time in these minima.
 Investor's Business Daily -- Ignoring Science
Climate Change: A new scientific paper says that man has had little or nothing to do with global temperature variations. Maybe the only place it's really getting hotter is in Al Gore's head.
Pajamas Media » Reuters Takes Sides on Climate Change
On the top is a link I have frequently seen that tells the world that fighting global warming is a Reuters cause. It links to the wire service’s related Facebook page, called “Help Reuters Fight Global Warming.”

I think I like the opinions posted here. When did the term "Global Warming" get revised to "Clobal Climate Change"? The tow are not compatible. Global warming is what is says - warming of the globe. Global Climate Change could mean many different variations of inceased or decreased temperatures in several different areas of the globe. It smells fishy, just some semanticsto cover up flawed and premature scientific views and data. Someone is out to make money and create mass hysteria.

Now I figure a solitary point source coal burning plant could be regulated to a very high standard as we know where the pollution is being emmitted. On the other hand the billions of free flowing automobiles thattogether pollute more than anything are the likely culprit, but no one will argue that - we all like to drive, even tree-huggers. What about livestock and volcanoes - large source of the so called "green house gases" Kill the cows and cork the volcanoes?

Has anyone though about the potenital effects of reducing carbon in the atmosphere? We learn in basic science that flora take in carbon and output oxygen. If you take away the carbon source for the these plants/trees you would slo be taking away a source of oxygen, if you apply basic logic.

Finally, I find it very arrogant for humans to think that they can change the Earth. It is by far more dynmanic than people imagine and will certainly move in whatever direction it chooses, irregardless of humans. I thought we as humans were the superior species when it comes to adaptation. Adapt things are changing and always will. Say hi to your neighbors instead.
