The World Meteorological Organisation said global temperatures are going to drop in 2008?

If your going to trip an (extremist) up, just ask them "where the heat came from in the first place". One should expect all the normal responses.(1.) quantified heat storage systems. That's wonderful, but still doesn't justify the primary source. They are going to side step the sun as a primary factor till they die. Truly a new epoch of modern science. Maybe one that will explain why CO2 generates heat? Isn't there a religion that worships darkness? In a nut shell, it's the solar output or the lack of that creates climate. You already know this so I guess by their definition it's a rant.

Susan Solomon a "top scientist" (why is everyone suddenly a top-scientist?) from...omygosh...the UN's IPCC thinks it's real. Really! Michel Jarraud, the secretary general of WMO feels the same. Wow, if that doesn't stir up panic nothing will. But wait...they both work for the IPCC, of which the WMO is a part. All controlled and dictated to by the UN itself. Told in advance what's expected for more money. Funded heavily for creating or faking results. Ah, yes, that group. To answer your question, I have serious concerns about the IPCC, the UN's directives and the politics behind them. If there's one thing that everyone should know about the UN, it's that money talks.

It takes a lot of energy to make snow. Well, really it takes a lot of energy to get the water into the air, then when it snows that energy is released as heat in the upper atmosphere.

Very heavy snowfall does cool us down at ground level. and snow that persists on the ground does reflect a lot of light, so it can of itself affect climate if it is very widespread.

CO2 trapping heat does not work if the reflectivity of snow or of volcanic dust above the atmosphere keep light from coming in or being absorbed.

But the upper levels of the atmosphere will always be cold enough to make snow. If we have enough heat to vaporize water, we will sometimes have snow, sometimes rain. Rain and snow are evidence of heat of vaporization.

Now I have lived through many winters colder than this past one, so my perception is that this was not that cold. Yes, we got some wet snow several times, and it stayed on the ground for a while. Quebec got well and truly walloped with snow. It must have taken a lot of energy to make it.

I do not expect to see a major cooling event, but I know that we have been getting less insolation, so it could happen despite greenhouse effect. All these factors add together as vectors.

Global Warming has pretty much been debunked.

Even the so called "polar warming" where the ice cap melted eary can be tracked to the el nino. All part of the weather systems of nature.

Remember, Al Gore is the same guy who took cridt for inventing the internet.

Many companies has a lot of money riding on making you do things to stop so called "global Warming"

The good news is that most credible people now realize it is bunk.

It's due to "La Nina".

Temperature averages will always go up and down. It's called natural variability. As long as the trend (the average for 5 years in a row) still points upwards I think they are very trustworthy in their predictions of global warming.

Once the 5 year average starts to show cooling, then I'll be confused and maybe a bit hopeful that global warming won't be as bad or worse than predicted.

People who doesn't understand the difference between short term weather and long term trends, either doesn't want to, or doesn't put enough efforts into understanding it or is plain stupid. Sorry for being blunt.

More than 10, certainly. Anyway, as you well know last year was cool compared to the last decade, but quite warm compared to the last century. The WMO is the other major participant in the IPCC besides the UN, for anyone who doesn't know.

In the same way I'd bet that you can pick one decade out of the history of any Major League Baseball team and prove that team a winner (just as you do denierism) regardless of their actual record.

I don' t know about the Gloable warming thingy but they say this Winter is gonna be the most cold winter ever!

Didn't you see...UK has been having heavy snowing! Check that out!

Global temps have been slowly decreasing since 1998, just like global temps decreased steadily from 1940-1970 during a global CO2 boom. Alarmists are kidding themselves.

They also said it would go right back up. Dana is right! You are cherry-picking, as always. You can't pick just one part of a prediction, throw the rest of it away, and then say "I told you so."

Thank you Dr. Jello, you should really post a link so the nimble minded can see it. Oh Thank God, for "The Convenient Truth" see Gore changed the world already-haha. I'm sure he will take the credit.
