The simple truth is that the anthropogenic global warming train has slowed to a crawl, and the riders are jumping off as the facts are discovered. What is the truth? Let’s begin with something we all can agree on. The climate IS changing. It has always changed, it is changing now, and it will always change. Beyond that, here are some simple facts that make those left on the global warming train very uncomfortable:

  • The earth is no warmer now than it was in 1998.
  • Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but a gas indispensable to plant life. Plants, in turn, release oxygen, which sustains animal and human life.
  • The primary greenhouse gas is water vapor, not carbon dioxide.
  • The lack of solar activity in recent months suggests global cooling might be our biggest potential climate change problem in coming years.
  • The planet has had weather disasters, extremes, and anomalies since it has been here. We just didn’t have 24 hour news channels and the Internet in prior decades to spread the news.
