The global warming debate is becoming so hysterical I can barely stand it. An October heat wave is pushing through the mid-Atlantic states causing the Weather channel to call it "Wild Weather". The Drudge Report is calling it "Heatwave in the Heartland". Below that story is a not-so-subtilly placed story about fashion designers having a hard time because "...there is no strong difference between summer and winter any more". Yeah, ok. You go ahead and wear your shorts in February, Beppe.
A quick check of Accuweather shows that the historical high temp for October in Washington, D.C. was 96 degrees in 1941. OMG! Global warming must have started back in at least the 1940's!
My point is that it's been crazy hot before and that can't be blamed on global warming without claiming that global warming began before the huge carbon release of the 1950's.
Additionally, why hasn't anyone pointed the finger at this guy?
Now, admittedly, I haven't really been keeping up on this issue and maybe some rigorous science has ruled it out. But our Sun has a history of causing global warming and cooling. All without our help. It would seem like good investigative work to rule out the cause of the Earth's last couple of the global climate changes, wouldn't it? Perhaps it's too terrifying to contemplate a global crisis that is unfazed by UN resolutions and business meetings.
There are plenty of reason to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, not the least of which is national security and clean air. However I would hate for scientific principals to be discarded in the race to a 'good end'.
