Dr. Loehle's work helps end this deception.
Don Easterbrook, a geologist at Western Washington University, says, "It's practically a slam dunk that we are in for about 30 years of global cooling," as the sun enters a particularly inactive phase. His examination of warming and cooling trends over the past four centuries shows an "almost exact correlation" between climate fluctuations and solar energy received on Earth, while showing almost "no correlation at all with CO2."
An analytical chemist who works in spectroscopy and atmospheric sensing, Michael J. Myers of Hilton Head, S. C., declared, "Man-made global warming is junk science," explaining that worldwide manmade CO2 emission each year "equals about 0.0168% of the atmosphere's CO2 concentration ... This results in a 0.00064% increase in the absorption of the sun's radiation. This is an insignificantly small number."
Other international scientists have called the manmade warming theory a "hoax," a "fraud" and simply "not credible."

The big IF argument, IF CO2 is so evil and causes warming, then all this saving of CO2 is causing the cooling issue. Perhaps Al Gore should be put on trial for crimes against humanity for causing the current coming ice age.......how fast would solar activity be the blame then?

I was initially quite excited by Don Easterbrooks paper. Until I read it. It's full or errors, misunderstandings and incorrect conclusions.
But, whilst I therefore seriously question his conclusions etc, it's still worth pointing out that his projection shows that the forthcoming 30 years of cooling will not see temps cool anywhere near to the level of the 1980s. And it will be followed by a period of warming which will be warmer than the 1990s .......
In other words, natural variability with an underlying warming trend. Each warm spell is warmer, each cool spell is less cool.....
So not quite what the deniers and coolers wanted!!!
