Okay, so if the glowbe is warmening, what's up with this?

Via Watts Up With That?

T3h Meteorological Institute says: "In most years, there are open waters in the area north of the archipelago in July month. Studies from this year however show that the area is covered by ice"

You know it's after July, right? So how come you're all frozen over? Don't you know the global is warming? You are supposed to be all MELTY!!!!1!!!


Okay, that's just some pundit looking at random satellite imagery from NASA, and quoting some foreign language source that proves his point beyond all doubt... how about some stuff from a Real Scientist, you say?

Okay, how about Walter Cunningham? (who?) in Launch Magazine, He says: "There are excellent correlations between the regular fluctuations of the Sun and the Earth’s temperature, while scientists cannot find a relationship between industrial activity, energy consumption, and global temperatures. But global warming is an issue no longer being decided in the scientific arena."

and in case you forgot, "After warnings that 2007 would be the hottest year on record and a record year for hurricanes, what we experienced was the coolest year since 2001 and, by some measures, the most benign hurricane season in the Northern Hemisphere in three decades."

And for those who are counting, have a peek at the current level of sunspot activity. If you are wondering what that's about, you might google up the little ice age a few hundred years ago... you know, the last time there were so few sunspots between solar cycles. Just sayin', that's all.

Go. Read. Is question the paradigm too complex a phrase for the government-educated?
