Regarding the Russian scientists report on global warming: this is a 2007 report that refers to the previous 3 years (2003 -2006)
In the last three years the earth has COOLED.
Where I am, we normally have mid to high 70 degree temps at this time of year. Often it's in the 80's and 90's. However, it's been 50 to 55
degrees for several days. April to June have been unseasonably cold.
It's the sun that heats us up, not carbon emissions from internal cumbustion engines.
Large volcanic eruptions occasionally send clouds of carbon, ash etc. high into the atmosphere causing a temporary cooling.
Mount St. Helens dumped more carbon in the atmosphere (in a few hours) than all the internal combustion engines combined over the past 150 years.
Mount Pinatubo spewed more carbon and caused a temporary cooling of the earth in the early 1990's.
Recent reports on other ATS threads say carbon levels have decreased over the past two years, and the average temps collected from around the globe
show a drop during 2007-2008.
A brown dwarf is not heading our way. The planets are not being pulled apart.
The sun is going through a normal cycle and it will start up again soon.
Pole shift? Now that's a possibility. That would put me at the new equator. Can't wait for that!!
Nothing new here folks. Nothing to learn. Move along please. Next!

Just like we are no longer looking for "global
warming" but "global climate change". Definitions of "truth" seem to be changing at an amazing pace. Kind of reminds me of playing a game with
a 3 year old. You know, the rules constantly change to fit the desired outcome until the adult walks away while trying to teach the child a sense of
fairness in outcome. Well, we have been playing this game for along time... About time to put the children to bed IMO. 
Great article!
