Global cooling may undermine global warming
It is hard enough for your average global warming nut job to get his panic across without having the actual solar system work against him.
News that the Conservatives might be taking a more cautious approach to Kyoto and climate change could not come at a more appropriate time. The science behind the idea of man-made global warming, always theoretical and often speculative, appears set to receive another blow. A report in New Scientist magazine yesterday chronicles the work of a crew of scientists who forecast a new wave of global cooling brought on by a decline in activity in the sun.The article warns of a decline in temperatures due to a natural reversal of the recent warming trend due to natural global cooling. The article still does not clearly consider the possibility that the recent warming is as natural and normal an occurrence that the environment goes through during normal cyclical changes. Instead we are to believe that man-made global warming is still the cause of all global warming problems and that by some weird coincidence natural global cooling is about to occur in order to offset and hide man-made warming.
