Fred: The set of record low temperatures is absolutely MEANING FREE.
How do you know, from what the "Washington Times National Weekly Edition" says, that last year was somehow special in terms of low temperatures...
The best sentence in the piece is the final one:
"Global warming has long since passed from scientific hypothesis to the realm of pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo."
-- "Year of Global Cooling," by David Deming, The Washington Times National Weekly Edition, December 24, 2007, page 32. Address: 3600 New York Avenue, NE, Washington, DC 20002.
Fred. No one speaks of global "warming" as a scientific hypothesis.
Scientists speak of Global Climate Change.
Climate CHANGE doesn't mean hotter all the time everywhere.
Why should a few "low" temperature examples be anything but what they are? They are evidence of Global Climate Change.
It will get much worse before the Earth recovers itself from our unintentional experiment on the biosphere.
Global Climate Change, due to human activity, is as much a scientific FACT as gravity.
Fred, do you act in accordance with gravity?
Why do you think you'll avoid the effects of global climate change?
