China has become an industrial giant. It is good to see they are taking the lead to help prevent the Earth from entering into an ice age.

Hi Treekiller,

Whether you are saying this sarcastically or literally, it remains a very real enigma. Pollution is something that must be addressed. Global Warming via anthropogenic CO2 is becoming more of a pathetic nuisance related to understanding our climate change issues. I see it as a waste of time to even entertain such fantasy anymore. It's sad, but true. Our global climate is twisting and turning and we are like players in a game of musical chairs. The question remains, can we feed ourselves moving forward?

The question also remains whether or not we can cope with massive swathes of habitable land becoming desert due to shifting currents, and wind...oh, the wind...chapping our little utopia into servitude. And to what end? There is no 'Wizard' behind the screen here. There is Mother Nature toying with us if you subscribe to conventional wisdom, and bringing about anticipated carnage if history is repeating itself. Let's cross our fingers and hope that reducing our carbon footprint will overpower the waining of our Sun...and the increase in Galactic Cosmic Rays increasing cloud cover. Or maybe not... maybe we should pray that we can reverse this cooling trend with CO2. Not going to happen. It's a joke people.

Look to the sun and the current cycle which is going on three years being too late. The writing is on the wall, we are cooling at an alarming rate. Heat-waves here and there are not going to change the trend. The ocean and air currents which have defined our civilization are changing...and this is a big deal.

It has been awarded to some odd people of late and that's for sure.

My opinion is that it is perfectly valid.

It is that the resource and food wars that will be caused by climate change are predictable and obvious enough that it is clear that good work disseminating some of the scientific findings about the climate to the non-scientific public falls under the scope of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Sun: Still quiet, over two months since a cycle 24 spot seen

Being a 'Global Warming' enthusiast is soon to become attune to believing the Earth is flat... People may attempt to cloud the issue with an abundance of ill-conceived data but the fact remains...our cooling trend continues. Global warming is a dream some of us hold onto...but an active sun would be nice.

How's 'Global Warming' doing at thawing out Antarctica? Last I heard the extent had broken all records. This would fit perfectly with the DO events in the past. The North warms while the South cools...and calamity strikes. This is only the beginning. Look at things and tell me when the prognosis for utter chaos subsides.
