Default The world is cooling (apparently)

Actually, there has been cooling, if you take 1998 as your point of reference. If you take 2002 as your point of reference, then temperatures have plateaued. This is not what you'd expect if carbon dioxide is driving temperature because carbon dioxide levels have been increasing but temperatures have actually been coming down.

The fact remains that the global climate is experiencing a sustained cooling trend. Do we still call it global warming?

Maybe you should call it GISS Virtual Warming - like the GISS induced virtual heatwave in Lampasas TX where the temperature went up 3-4 degrees due to the moving of the measuring station to a brick and asphault location back in 2000. They 'corrected' the data to compensate with a 'correction' that left the recent data unchanged and dropped the earlier data values to slightly lower levels evidently because the former location trees and grass must've been artifically high compared to the asphault, concrete and brick walls.

If you take 1998 as you point of reference? ROTFLMAO big time. Hilarious joke. If CO2 is driving temperature..., oh and I'm sure it is just this simple little linear equation with time as the independent variable. If I take hell as a point of reference, then my ass is frozen solid, and I'm not even typing this right now. HA HA HA.

#9 talks about animal habitat migration, this is already well documented in many geographical areas. What are you reading?

Forest fires in the Western United States have increased dramatically in recent years, just like result #1 says. This is well documented. What are you not reading, or not seeing?
