GLOBAL COOLING ON THE BBC

The fact that the earth has NOT been warming over the last decade is getting very hard to ignore. Even news agencies like the BBC, that have been fanning the flames of man-made global warming for years, are having a hard time ignoring the facts. The IPCC keeps telling us we are doomed, but some of us are realizing there may be a bit more to global weather patterns than how much CO2 humans emit:

"Warmest year recorded globally was.... in 1998"
"For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures. And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made [emitted] carbon dioxide... has continued to rise"

"The Pacific Decadal Oscillation cool mode has replaced the warm mode in the Pacific Ocean, virtually assuring us of about 30 years of global cooling."

One must always remember that short term weather is irrelevant to long term global trends. But the following are kind of funny considering Congress is currently trying to pass a Cap-n-Trade bill to stop global warming:
Killing freeze warning for farmers
Baseball fans face record cold in Denver
Earliest opening for Ski resort in California
Chicago expecting earliest snowfall in history
Potato farmers had to stop harvest - Too much snow
Earliest Snow day - Oct 5th
