In recent years, the earth has been COOLING, not warming. Weather patterns have been calmer, the list goes on and on. It's those pesky little facts rather than the heart tugging rethoric.

We are set on a course of 'planet saving' madness
The scare over
global warming, and our politicians' response to it, is becoming ever more
bizarre. On the one hand we have the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change coming up with yet another of its notoriously politicised
reports, hyping up the scare by claiming that world surface temperatures have
been higher in 11 of the past 12 years (1995-2006) than ever previously
recorded.

This carefully ignores the latest US satellite figures showing
temperatures having fallen since 1998, declining in 2007 to a 1983 level - not
to mention the newly revised figures for US surface temperatures showing that
the 1930s had four of the 10 warmest years of the past century, with the hottest
year of all being not 1998, as was previously claimed, but 1934.
I suspect the UN's promotion of global warming has more to do with the expected taxes they wants to collect for carbon offsets than it has to do with saving the planet.
