Dispelling the Global Warming Myth

You can prove virtually anything with selected use of statistics.
These are a few of the many slides that I found interesting. This one, by Dennis Avery, puts the climate swings of the last 12,000 years (i.e., since the last Ice Age) in perspective...:



This one, by Syun Akasofu, also takes a long-term view, and compares the politically-driven prediction by the UN's IPCC with the historical trend as the earth has recovered from the Little Ice Age:



You can see that by choosing the beginning and end points carefully you can make a case for global warming ... or cooling And when you project a recent trend you can show pretty much any scenario you want.

Based on recent stock market action, I can predict, with graphs and tables that the stock market will advance 1000% over the next year.

Wanna bet on that?

This is great stuff, thanks! You might want to check out this article.. It's another very well argued piece on the global warming myth:

Nice post, you're absolutely right. How can we believe any graphs and statistics from scientists these days when they never show us the whole picture. The global warming is just another climate change in the planet's cycle but unfortunately it has been so exaggerated that everyone thinks the world is going to end in 50 years, sad, very sad.

Take care, Jay
