EVEN BBC IS NO LONGER SURE ABOUT "GLOBAL WARMING"...

By STEPHEN HOLZER

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.
