What happened to global warming?

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

So what on Earth is going on?

Climate change sceptics, who passionately and consistently argue that man's influence on our climate is overstated, say they saw it coming.

HALIFAX, N.S. — A trio of adventurers sailed into a dreary and damp Halifax harbour Saturday, marking the end of a four-month journey that saw them navigate the treacherous waters of the Northwest Passage aboard a 12-metre sailing sloop.

The Open Passage Expedition was the brainchild of Manitoba native Cameron Dueck, a journalist and avid sailor who lives in Hong Kong.

The goal was to document through photographs, video and anecdotes the effects climate change is having on the lives of the people who inhabit the remote communities of Canada's Arctic.

I agree. But in the end left/right republican/democrat will vote for HOW MUCH instead of whether they should be doing it at all.
