What David's not a socialist.
Cliff do you get your information from the IPCC or Al Gore?
...I get my information from my own eyes. Eyes that can view pictures (satellite and otherwise)...
The problem with the 'skeptical' view Larry, is that it is far too narrow. Yes, there was more Arctic ice this year, but the overall trend is still downward. Yes, there is a pause in atmospheric warming, but the atmosphere is a very small part of the total global environment (just 2.3%). If we consider the oceans, continents and ice environment, there has been no pause at all and warming is in line with the predictions (I can sow you graphs if you really want...). As for the new Ice Age... If you go back to the source it wasn't all the climate scientists who were saying that. It was a postulation by a couple of researchers that then got picked up by the media and shouted from the rooftops, and then repeated ad infinitum, without the media bothering to check what the scientists were actually saying. Sound familar?
If the Arctic ice continues to increase next winter and the winter after that, and if the oceans stop warming I'll be very happy to admit I have been wrong. I'd love Climate Change to be a myth. I might have more money to put towards my GT40 and my granddaughters could maybe look forward to a better future.
What better way to scam money than scare tactics?
Fox News is scamming lots of money, yeah right! You seem to be frightened by it though!
