#1 1998 was in itself "a variability", with the winter being the end of a very strong El Nino, and the end of the year the start of a mild, but long La Nina.

There have been three mild El Ninos since 1998.

The current La Nina is the first since 2001.

#2 "Mr. Gore! Mr. Gore! What does this mean?"

"It's very simple, my boy. Either global warming is going to melt the ice caps and kill all the polar bears, or it's going to bring on a new ice age and the polar bears will come south and eat us. Either way, we're doomed unless we give up technology and revert to a hunter-gathere existence. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to catch a Lear Jet to my next bing speech."

#3 What about global dimming (due to pollutant particulates in the air that, combined with water vapor, reflect the sun's rays). It just has to be having an effect. I know it because I saw it on NOVA and there were all these nasty pictures of smokestacks and cars and factories and other really bad man-made stuff

Whatta bunch of frickin morons. You want to do something for the environment??? Reduce pollutants (not CO2), manage worldwde fisheries and stop cutting down the rainforest. All directly controlled by human activity, thus all can be quickly impacted by changes in same.

#4 Remoteman.. Nope! Were going to cut down the rain forest to grow corn for ethanol; all the while we will watch the Chinese drill for oil off-shore of Floridan and the Polar Bears will eat the Caribou at ANWAR. In the meantime the Dems will increase fuel taxes to buy Algores carbon credits while sympathizing with the "poor" that now have to ride bicycles to work (if they haven't quit or been fired because the employer went bust due to soaring overhead).

Smile, it could be worse.

#5 I hear there's a big sale this weekend at Al Gore's House of Carbon Credits. C'mon in and have your picture taken with his Nobel Peace Prize...

#6 March 2008 temperature data just out. Northern hemisphere warms up after cooling in the last few months, but southern hemisphere and tropical temps continue to fall. Both are close to record lows for the satellite record period.

Combine this with the record increase in sea ice over the last year, and 2008 looks like being the year the AGW hysteria died (to the tune of American Pie).

#7 "Northern hemisphere warms up after cooling in the last few months"

That would be "winter" followed by "spring," Phil. ;-p

#8 You Conservative Scoffers just haven't studied the Global Warming Theorem at all, or just skipped over the hard parts!

If you Unbelievers would just work on your Gaea Attitudes, you would GRASP that as Temperatures Decrease all over the Globe, The next Waves of Warmth are just around the Corner!

And Global Warming Scientists, from all over the World, have Proven the Global Warming Theorem by rigorously taking inventory of each others feelings, including Al Gore's!

Yep, for you math guys and gals, more simply put:

The Square of the Global Warming Period, heated by the Sun, is Proportional to the Cube of the Pollutants which are OOZING FORTH from the Planets Inhabitants.

SEE I told ya!

You Pro Military Types make me sick because you just don't care that Silence moves faster when it's going backwards!

Ima Harrumphed!
