Bad news for acolytes of the Religion of Man-Made Global Warming: it looks as though the Earth and other planets are once again entering a cooling phase. Boy, for a True Believer, that just has to suck. Of course, folks like me have been telling you this all along, but you just dissed us as "unbelievers", or "deniers". Same thing - by not embracing your religion, we were branded as heretics.
Now there is word that all four major global temperature tracking outlets have released data showing that temperatures have dropped significantly over the last year. California meteorologist Anthony Watts says the amount of cooling ranges from 65-hundredths of a degree Centigrade to 75-hundreds of a degree.
That is said to be a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. It is reportedly the single fastest temperature change ever recorded — up or down.
Some scientists contend the cooling is the result of reduced solar activity — which they say is a larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases.
And that's exactly what has been consistently noted here. The sun drives climate change; humans are irrelevant.
