Cookey, from your article. "While the data doesn't itself disprove that carbon dioxide is acting to warm the planet, it does demonstrate clearly that more powerful factors are now cooling it." It's exactly what I've been saying, we're not warming we're cooling. There was a period during the Middle Ages where the average temperature increased, the Medieval Warm Period.

Re: Global Warming Deniers

Re: I noticed something in this PSA
I'm really surprised no one else has caught this. The balloons are supposed to be filled with greenhouse gas, or CO2. The balloons floated upwards which is impossible. CO2 is heavier than air, a balloon filled with it doesn't float the way the balloons did in the PSA. Think about when you blow a balloon up with your mouth, that's CO2. How many times does the balloon rise like in the PSA? So if the CO2 we produce can't rise into the atmosphere, where does it go? It stays near the ground.

Man made stone arrowheads have been found inside dinasaur remains. Carbon dating dates prehistoric man and animal much older than anything biblical.
