And on the Global Warming Front:

May and June i the Midwest have been the coolest since records started being kept.

And crops are expected to yield poorly due to cooler weather last summet in agricutural areas of Europe and a much cooler spring than normal in North America.

This winter (now, actually) there has been abnormal snowfall in Australian and New Zeeland.

While we do lots of stuff about "Anthropogenic Global Warming" food crops are nearing crisis conditions due to cooler, damer weather. this at a time when US and global grainreserves are at a two decade low.

My garden is yielding poorly for the time of year, and plant's are not as far along as they should be for mid-june, due to the wet and coold spring.

Global warming? I remain unconvinced, especially as we enter a Maunder Minimum period.

Have you noticed that they've gotten crafty and switched it from "Global Warming" to, "Climage Change"?

Sleazy idiots... soon they'll be howling about global cooling!

C.C.--

Actually, in the 7-'s and early 80's they were doing just that.

Oh my god, the ignorance...! I'll try to help you by giving you a few pointers here:

First of all, there is absolutely no doubt there is global warming. Surface temperatures averaged over the globe in 2004 were the fourth highest (and the past decade was the warmest) since measurements began in 1861. 1998 remains the warmest year in recorded history, with surface temperatures averaging +0.54°C above the same 30-year mean. Sea-ice extent in the Arctic remains well below the long-term average. In September 2004, it was about 13% less than the 1973-2003 average. Satellite information suggests a general decline in Arctic sea-ice extent of about 8% over the last two and half decades.

To Coffee Catholic: That's an incredibly stupid argument. The reason a lot of people are now using the term climate change is not that they don't believe in global warming anymore, on the contrary they do. The reason was that people like you were confused by the term global warming, but unfortunately you are no less confused now and I don't think you ever will be - because it takes intelligence and a willingness to seek the truth to emancipate onself from the state of confusion that you're in. Because I'm such a nice person, I'll help you get started:
Global warming means literally: "increasing average surface temperature", and there is overwhelming scientific evidence that not only is this occuring at an unprecedented rate but that most of this increase is caused by accumulation of greenhouse gases, primarily CO2.
