But a few scientists simply refuse to believe the British calculations. "Warming has continued in the last few years," says Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). However, Rahmstorf is more or less alone in his view. Hamburg Max Planck Institute scientist Jochem Marotzke, on the other hand, says: "I hardly know any colleagues who would deny that it hasn't gotten warmer in recent years."

This is one hot topic.

What a complete and utter fraud this whole Global Warming is. Just another way to fleece the populace out of "Protection" monies and to keep the populace afraid. What a ripoff.

"I hardly know any colleagues who would deny that it hasn't gotten warmer in recent years."

Translation: Egads! My grant is up for review!

It's November.

It was 75 degrees yesterday.

If it weren't for the threat of hard frosts about the end of october, I could still be growing tomatoes outside.

15 years ago, I'd be bundled up in a sweater and long underwear going to school. Now, I run the heater for maybe 3 months out of the year, but I have to run the AC for 6.

Those 3 months of no ac or heat with the windows open are awesome for the light bill though. Maybe if the area I live in turns more tropical, I can start growing bananas!

"Global Warming Fraud"

"The real story is the suspicious content of the emails. For example:

Once Tim's got a diagram here we'll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow. I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from1961 for Keith's to hide the decline.

From another email:

The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate."
