It appears that one of the legacies of the Clinton administration is that
global warming stopped in 1998.


Raising hand I have a question! Are you the opinion that there could
never be any information which would convince you that we *are*
contributing to global warming, and might want to change a few living
habits?

No, I read the article...mainly it's a piece that puts PERSPECTIVE on global
temperature fluctuations. And points out that the DOOM proponents of global
warming have a hidden agenda.

The flaw as I see in this article is that the temp is read in England which
has the gulf stream as the major impact on temperatures. Slight
fluctuations in that flow impact England severely and that flow has been
slowing slightly and that might be the reason that temps in England have not
kept up with global temp increases of less than 1 degree over the last 50
years.

Now before you jump on that, much of that increase is caused by the
SUN...it's still an open question how much if any of the increase is caused
by carbon dioxide.
