The BBC recently had an interview with Profess Phil Jones. He’s the director of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and at the center of ClimateGate. He said three noteworthy things:
1) There has been no statistically significant global warming since 1995.
2) There was no statistical difference in global warming for the periods 1860-1880, 1910-1940, 1975-1998.
3) From January 2002 to the present, the temperature cooled.
This is all over the news, too. And because of this info and the recent ClimateGate, states are filing suits against federal government regulations on greenhouse emissions.

FURTHER, in 1974 Time did an article on Global Cooling. That was the fad back then. Everyone was freaked out about another ice age. So which is it? Global Warming or Global Cooling? http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,944914-1,00.html
