Concord Monitor - No problem; not manmade
CO2's warming effect is logarithmic, the first 20 ppm having by far the most significant effect. Additional CO2 will cause minimal further warming effect, and man's contribution of CO2 is only 3 percent anyway. The IPCC is not a scientific body but a political one. It simply assumes that manmade warming is fact and is interested only in how to "fix" a problem which 1) man did not create; 2) is not really a problem anyway, but a good thing (about 1 degree warming the past century, after a cool period known as the Little Ice Age); and 3) is primarily alarmist in nature, relying on computer models fed with garbage.

Washington Times - DEMING: Global warming freeze?
Environmental extremists and global warming alarmists are in denial and running for cover. Their rationale for continuing a lost cause is that weather events in the short term are not necessarily related to long-term climatic trends. But these are the same people who screamed at us each year that ordinary weather events such as high temperatures or hurricanes were undeniable evidence of imminent doom.

Now that global warming is over, politicians are finally ready to enact dubious solutions to a non-existent problem. In Britain, Parliament is intrepidly forging ahead with a bold new plan to cool the climate, even as London experienced its first October snowfall since 1934 and Ireland went through the coldest October in the last 70 years.

This is an absurd spectacle. Our advanced civilization is being systematically mismanaged by technologically illiterate lawyers responding to political pressures from irrational fanatics. Would someone please tell these people it is impossible to overturn the laws of thermodynamics?

To the extent global warming was ever valid, it is now officially over. It is time to file this theory in the dustbin of history, next to Aristotelean physics, Neptunism, the geocentric universe, phlogiston, and a plethora of other incorrect scientific theories, all of which had vocal and dogmatic supporters who cited incontrovertible evidence.

Weather and climate change are natural processes beyond human control. To argue otherwise is to deny the factual evidence.
