[Sound Politics] It or parts of it could easily cool under a "global warming" scenario because basically "global warming" would bring a new weather regime to the earth. Stefan repeatedly makes this same point, which is basically that it was cold somewhere so therefore global warming must not be happening, yet it's never been a valid point and it never will be.

[Sound Politics] Sound Politics: Global Warming Update (L): Localized record low temps do not disprove overall warming. Ice sheets and glaciers receding at faster rates than in the last 1/2-million years (thanks to data from ancient ice cored for research as well as geologic evidence) neatly correlating with atmospheric greenhouse gas spikes, also at record levels for the last 1/2-million years (air bubbles in ancient ice gives us that data), give us a pretty comprehensive picture.

[Watts Up With That?] Freeman Dyson: speaking out on “global warming” « Watts Up With That?: In the 60’s, while Freeman helped flesh out the details for NASA-funded Project Orion, a Chicago-sized, atomic-powered spaceship, his son George essentially “droped out” and became a back-to-nature devotee, obsessed with his own project - creating a baidarka, a bark canoe, on a gigantic scale.

We don’t want to lose their readership, so in the interest not of editorial accuracy and fairness, but in the economic interest of keeping their eyeballs, lets load the opinion pages with George Will, Charles Krauthammer, and Jonah Goldberg.”

[Global Warming] AccuWeather.com: Global Warming News, Science, Myths, Articles: As CO2 increases, it does not follow that the net global upper-level water vapor and cloudiness will increase significantly. Observations of upper tropospheric water vapor over the last 3-4 decades from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis data and the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) data show that upper tropospheric water vapor appears to undergo a small decrease while Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) undergoes a small increase.
