Not.
From the BBC (the Brits being some of the most obnoxious proponents of chunks of ozone falling from the sky):
This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.
Amazing. Once again, the reason why The Left are religious. Global Warming isn’t science; it’s a belief system.

look at who the big players are in the carbon credit SCAM and that umm.. “religion” is easy enough to figure out. it’s simply a scam to get public money, lots of it, into Al Gore’s hands.
And they are trying to make it the state religion as well.
“Carbon offsets”? Bullshit. It’s ALL about the money!

Then there is the absolute, positive drivel from The Times of London saying that Greenland’s icecap melting is causing… volcanic activity. Ahhhhh… this is obviously the ‘science taught to journalists by pre-kindergarteners’. Lets put it this way, if this was the actual process all of North America, Asia, Europe and large swaths of Africa and South America would be boiling cauldrons of magma. Instead you get stately isostatic rebound at the rate of 1″ per year, which is the rate in NY State after having a mile of ice on it for a few hundred thousand years. It is *still*, to this day, rebounding from that ice sheet, 10,000 years later. Ditto anyplace covered by ice sheets, including Scotland.
Notice the volcanic activity in these places?
No?
What is the process where magma rises to the surface of the planet? It is called ‘stoping’. What does it do when it breaks the surface? That is called a volcano. Is it related to ice sheets? No, it is an internal process of Rock 3 and independent of surface weather and climate.
Basically the Times of London is saying that the Greenland ice sheet is melting due to a large magmatic intrusion and general uplift of the island itself.
One would think this would be *noticed* by the geophysical population as anything going *that fast* must be damned near the surface. Instead the ice sheets *expanded* this year… greatly… both poles over the last year. Antarctic ice is at its furthest reaches as far as our records go. Arctic ice returned with avengance, becoming thicker and more extensive than ever before. Oceanic temperatures are going down… hmmmm… what’s that about global climate?
Get this religion out of politics. It has as much science behind it as the great pinball theorist Velikovsky had, which is to say *zero* evidence and *zero* knowledge about physics…. in fact contrary evidence abounds and was ignored by trite, western communists. Just like Lysenkoism.
you know how I feel about it.. Great post. May I vent a bit? I was told I have bronchitis and at the same time my diverticulitis is back so I am feeling like poop and tired.. I am not at the breathing level I need to be so I am also on steroids.. SO.. watch out! ;~0
Carbon offsets are so subjective. If ‘THEY’ think that ALGORE putting solar panels in his house is enough to offset his MAJOR jetfuel useage and other forms of carbon they are nuts. Completely nuts. I mean, how do they come up with figuring out how to offset it anyway. It is all subjective and feel good crap to justify their lie.
ONe thing I am sick of is hearing all these stupid ‘green’ commercials about saving us from a climate disaster one person at a time. I have to keep reiterating to my son that it is a lie, and remind him of the truth.
It is everywhere. All over t.v. and the average guy is convinced.
I even have friends that are brainwashed that I had to inform. They still think we are ruining our planet.
Our country is becoming neurotic and fearful of everything. They are making life harder. It would be nice to go back to the old days when life was simple.
(Of course, I have to admit I LOVE the technology aspect of today.. i-phones, computers etc.. Wouldn’t want to go back that far..)
