Although political correctness has held that the debate over global warming is over (man is warming up the planet), increasingly there is evidence that we are actually in a period of global cooling.
The only thing really warming up may be the continued debate over this evidence. In an article entitled "What happened to global warming?" published on October 9, 2009 by the BBC, the BBC's climate correspondent notes:
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 carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.
...
...last month Mojib Latif, a member of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) says that we may indeed be in a period of cooling worldwide temperatures that could last another 10-20 years.
The man-made-global warming advocates, the article points out, are still convinced of their science; but the author indicates the issue is no longer free from doubt.
Not that there's is anyone who doesn't know that polciital discourse in this country has dropped to a ethical level just below professional wrestling, still, articles like this shock! I've spent so much time reading things like this, and items about how Gore is a hypocrite because of his mansion, and it's all because his position on global warming is fact based and no one has a real rebuttal. When one side cannot refute, they have to spin or attack from another angle.

I'm really dpsaipointed in what your blog has turned into.I used to come here to find interesting articles on PHP and the SolarPHP framework. However, ever since Obama was elected the blog has taken a decidedly different direction and there are very few technology related posts. I fully believe that it is your right to write about whatever topic you wish. Yet I can't help but feel deceived by the turnaround and as a result your blog has become decreasingly useful.I don't mean to say this in a pejorative or hostile manner; I'm just dpsaipointed in that I've lost a once-valuable resource.In any case, thanks for the tips and insight you've provided in the past and I can only hope that they may return in the future.

Global warming is really one of our major problem now. I not taken seriously it could result to death.

I am not really sure what to say about this post, but what I can say that I am much more confused now because of the BBC report about the global warming. Hopefully the scientific community would clear that out for us soon.

We were just hit by two very strong storms two weeks ago. we never had that in decades. They left our country with still so many flooded areas, a lot were homeless and lost so many loved ones. The effect of those twin storm were devastating. And the news says its all because of global warming.
