Global cooling back again?

News flash: When the globe warms, that doesn't mean everywhere gets warmer. The weather as a whole just gets more extreme - higher highs, lower lows, and increased turbulence. Large-scale trends are not predictors for individual events. Surprise, surprise.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's logic, not science. Science would be pointing out that Atmospheric CO2 reflects sunlight and heat and in fact is quite capable of causing warming.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So talking about what Science would say at this point seems a bit like talking about what a person with multiple personality disorder might claim on any given day.

You confuse science with think tanks. There is no great debate in the scientific world; the vast majority of minds and the overwhelming majority of evidence points in one direction.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
