Cooling will Mask the earth's warming ??? - samintx - 12-08-2008

I don't quite understand. If the cooling of the earth masks the warming of the earth doesn't this mean the earth is NOT warming? a cool period a natural cycle?

Oh boy sam, you opened a can of worms up by mentioning global warming.

The hypothesis that solar cycles will offset global warming trends is largely untested.
Those leaping to conclusions that we're all going to be saved by a slight change in solar cycles or solar wind are welcome to invest in heating technologies. Since improvements in heating-efficiency will save on electricity use and fossil fuel consumption, that will be helpful regardless of whether the interglacial ends in the next couple of decades.

I MacMagus hit on the crux of everyone's argument
"largely untested."
Reducing pollution and improving efficiency is always a good thing, whether you're Amish or a Silicon valley Technomage. Who cares if the end results are 'saving the world' or just saving some money and environmental impact ? both are laudable goals.
Oh, and like my Moms Republican Women's T-Shirt says:
"Conservation IS Conservative".

Add global warming to the long list of world religions. If this was medieval times, you could lose your head denying it. Today, you could lose your job. It is a little bit better.

You could lose your head denying global warming in medieval times?
Are you OK?
