When I say "we don't know"  I am talking about society in general.  Algore
and his ilk have done a great job brainwashing a lot of people.  For
example, most Europeans firmly believe in AGW, and that it is caused by
Americans.  They believe that signing Kyoto absolves them of everything.

 

The AGW crowd has also made a valiant attempt at marginalizing anybody who
doubts AGW and they either call them GW deniers or in the pocket of Big
something.  They also refuse to debate anyone; the science is settled.

 

The fact global average temperatures have dropped between .6 to .75 degree
Celsius in the last year completely debunks the AGW, but the adherents will
latch on for a while longer.

 

I no longer have any doubts the whole issue is bunk and I do hope that John
Coleman actually gets Algore sued.  BTW, you will have noticed that he is
extremely quiet these last few months.  The problem is the AGW crowd has
already caused a lot of problems and these problems will plague us for a
while.  You will notice that food prices have increased quite a bit
recently;  that happened because we are burning our food to make inefficient
ethanol fuel.  The price of gasoline is also very high and even thought
demand has dropped, the price has not yet followed.  If we actually have
entered a cooling period in Earth's history, the first thing that will be
affected is agriculture.  Now that people and animals compete with internal
combustion engines for fuel, the price of food will rise even more.

 

You see one of the benefits of global warming is that agricultural yields
are higher because of longer growing seasons and no damaging frosts.

 

Even if we decide to stop burning food in IC engines, we will not be able to
replace the ethanol from crops in time, as we have not been able to drill
for oil or refine more gasoline and we have not been able to build a nuclear
power plant in 20+ years.  It would take a few years to get those things on
line and I can guarantee you the eco-Nazis will fight every goosestep of the
way, before they resort to outright sabotage and terrorism.
