[More unsettled science]: 2 climate studies offer hope on global warming | National | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

A pair of climate papers published this week in the world's top science journals may offer some hope that rising levels of carbon dioxide won't imminently bring the planet to boil.

During the 1980s and 1990s, levels of water vapor in the stratosphere rose quite dramatically, but in 2000 they suddenly dropped.

“Neither the increase before 2000 nor the decrease in 2000 are well understood,” said Andrew Dessler, an atmospheric scientist at Texas A&M University.

The computer models used to project future temperatures also don't include this feature because it remains poorly understood.

Answer Man: Is global warming worth the worry?

he global mean surface temperature rose by about 1.2 degrees F. during the 20th century. During the last three decades of the century, though, the U.S. was cooking at nearly twice the global rate of increase.

The last two years in the U.S. have been a little cooler. Does this mean climate change is bogus?Well, no one promised a straight line to the Inferno; climate experts always have said that violent fluctuations are part of the equation, and no one claims to have ironclad predictions. But a lot of very smart people say we'll regret it if we don't make some prudent changes now. I tend to believe very smart people.  [Like Richard Lindzen, Freeman Dyson, Burt Rutan, Lubos Motl, Christopher Monckton, etc etc?]

Clean energy technology and high-end manufacturing are Wisconsin's future. We have the research capacity – and we have the forests, fields and farms to be the leader in the clean energy economy.
...We are one of the leading producers of ethanol in the country.
