Default Global warming/cooling

There sure are alot of interesting theories out there. One of them is the "cherry picking" of data to prove warming/cooling. The global warming theorists pick one set of years as a baseline to show how warm it is getting. The global cooling theorists probably do the same thing.

It is interesting though, how the global warming theorists never really discuss the last 8 years, as it just doesn't prove their theory, as CLA shows above. The pick extreme events (hurricanes, earthquakes, etc) and try to blame global warming for them.

We are trying to discuss global warming or cooling over the past 100 years or so. The earth has been around for millions of years. 100 years is a blip in the data set.

For the record, I believe that the climate is very cyclical. No, I am not a global cooling theorist, but I do strongly disagree with Al Gore.
