Good news, what? We've whipped AGW. And only had to close a few coal mines. Well, that was easy. Now Al Gore and James Hansen can find new windmills to tilt at. :-)

i don't think they alarmists will give up until they achieve a perfect global climate: the entire earth except for the ice caps at about 72 degrees F; with low humidity; partly cloudy skies - and only raining the right amounts of rain wherever they are not. perfect climate with perfect weather: the days are warm, the nights are cool, and everyday is about average.

as if this was ever true.

Enough of this global warming nonsense.

Ticker tape parade? How about the stocks for the lot of them.

If you look at the climate on geological time scales, you will see that global warming is followed by global ice age which is followed by global warming which is followed by global ice age...you get the idea. Roughly 100,000 years of cold followed by 10,000 years of warm.

The interesting bit is that the climate never gets 'stuck' in one mode or runs off to one extreme or the other forever. We know that at various times in the past our planet has been colder, warmer, had more CO2, had less CO2, but again, it never got stuck in any extreme. This implies some long-lasting negative feedback loops which we don't fully understand.

Eventually, Global Warming will be regarded as the biggest scientific hoax since the Piltdown Man. In the future, everyone will laugh at us for being such dumb-asses. But in the meantime, there's money to be made! Anyone want to buy some carbon credits? A windmill?

Not to rain on the parade but the other half of our planet seems to be getting parboiled

Hey Anon, do you mean the other half of the planet where it is the height of SUMMER? Shocker!

It's mid-summer in the Antarctic -- where the ship got stuck in the ice. None of this, though, will dissuade the true believers who, instead of talking about heat, have switched to talking about "energy" trapped in the atmosphere. Of course, the "energy" would necessarily be heat, but if you don't say that, you don't sound quite so stupid.

They are suggesting that a warm Arctic caused the "polar vortex" -- those things we used to call low or high pressure systems.

Just keep changing the terminology so the stoops think you know what you talking about.

@reliapundit: Lerner & Loewe already postulated a similar outcome, and is equally reliable:

And for SteveS: AGW is Y2K writ large.
