I think it's hard to argue that global temperatures are NOT increasing. Not quite sure where people are getting facts to argue otherwise. I completely agree that people differ on the causes.
I would also suggest that people differ on whether we can effectively do something to reverse course, and that the trillions anticipated to try to prevent it is a complete waste in the face of evidence that the Earth may be heading to a cooling cycle.
Ah Arvhic, I wondered if you were still out there. First, please tell me where you got this quote. And it's really nice to have my ideas and research called, "Rubbish."

Because for the past three years, global temperatures have been falling. |

Arvhic I respect your eyewitness to a degree, even as far back as 1816. |

No, because the only temperatures I really know are the temperatures where I live and I don't keep records, so I can only guess. It has been about 10 degrees cooler here than normal for several days because of the solid smoke cover from the Santa Barbara fire. At one point it totally darkened the sun all afternoon.
Because of what I read about volcanic ash in the stratosphere and its effect on world temperatures I'm going to venture a GUESS about what controls our temperature. Just for the sake of conversation let's say that we haven't had a volcano blow for many years and the temps are warm and fairly constant. Then a volcano blows enough ash into the stratosphere to cool us a few degrees. As that ash dissipates we slowly warm again back to "normal." But have you heard the definition of normal? Normal is half way between two extremes. So who even knows what normal is?

I just heard this on a national news program. I took the time to copy it word for word.

From the hated FOX NEWS NETWORK A U.N. panel on climate change said it was 90% likely man was having an effect on global temperatures. Dailytech.com reports analysis of scientific papers in 2004 show a majority of researchers supported the concensus view that humans are effecting climate change. Today a study of all research papers between 2004 and 2007 shows that only 7% give an explicit endorsement of that so called concensus, 45% give an implicit endorsement, but 48% of papers are classified as niether accepting, or rejecting the hypothesis and only 1 in 528 papers reviewed makes any reference to climate change leading to catastrophic results. |

AGREEMENT AT U.N. CLIMATE TALKS
Negotiators from 158 countries reached basic agreement Friday on rough targets aimed at getting some of the world's biggest polluters to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

I was listening to the radio and caught part of this, so I went to my computer and did the research, Here is a small portion of that speech.

WASHINGTON, DC - Sen. James Inhofe SENATE FLOOR SPEECH DELIVERED MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2006 Since 1895, the media has alternated between global cooling and warming scares during four separate and sometimes overlapping time periods. From 1895 until the 1930's the media peddled a coming ice age. From the late 1920's until the 1960's they warned of global warming. From the 1950's until the 1970's they warned us again of a coming ice age. This makes modern global warming the fourth estate's fourth attempt to promote opposing climate change fears during the last 100 years. |
