Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile — the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA’s GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

I haven’t heard our latest Nobel Peace laureate bloviating recently. Perhaps he is not blasting out enough hot air these days.

Seriously though all the computer models are just that. They can only speculate in a somewhat educated way how a system as complex as our planet will respond to an almost uncountable number of factors.

Frankly I think it is the pinnacle of arrogance to believe that we can have a such a deleterious effect on such a huge system.

Follow the money to see why this has become such an issue with the "enlightened" in our society. The million or so that Al Gore received from the Nobel committee pales in comparison to what he is making personally from his histrionic book, movie and appearances. Estimates are approximately $100 million.

Governments will also benefit mightily by taxing to fund solutions to this so called problem. Billions will be collected and spent, we will all lose a bit more freedom and the tyranny will continue to escalate.
