And give up the unpredictable weather, the anti-social youths and the stupid government cuts?

Hmm, you might have a point there.

But I can't give up some of the good quality things Britain has, so Ill walk everywhere but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

You do realise that article was written by a journalist who reviews PC games dont ya(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Peckham ), its a joke (if you didnt know that already i can't tell with you), he blantantly assumes that because the frequency of sun spots are decreasing and solar flare activity is diminishing that our planet will undergo a period of cooling. I think ill stick to the accredited scientific journals thank you vey much.

I understand the need for a credible reference and I'm going to give it to here:

"The current trends of the tilt and precession cycles should be making the Earth colder according to Figure 2 on the USDA Climate Change Resource Center website."

http://www.fs.fed.us/ccrc/primers/climate-change-primer.shtml

"The Little Ice Age from 1450 to 1920 exemplifies a cold phase of a Bond cycle. Milankovitch & Bond cycles are thought to be driven by changes in the sun"

Supporting Evidence: Milankovitch Mini Ice Age Like Clockwork (www.associatedcontent.com)

there is little to no correlation between sunspots and global climate. Radiative output increases slightly when there are sunspots but the effect that this has on climate is far less than the effect that anthropogenic greenhouse gasses have on global temperatures.

The Little Ice Age was likely a consequence of a climate event like a volcanoe or some disruption in the thermohaline conveyor.

Side: Wait..., What? No!

Global Cooling or Warming is fake.------------------------------

Side: Wait..., What? No!

I agree with you all the way because nothing has happened yet for me to believe it.

Global warming is a recorded event. Temperature gathering devices all around the world have given us a clear picture that the average temperature is increasing. You can debate the cause all you want, but the earth is getting warmer.

Side: Yay!

Let me guess, you got this information from where the United State Government, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Al Gore, or the media.

If the Earth is getting warmer, then it is not man made.

I agree in the sense that earth heats and cools naturally, there is not much to directly link it to humans.

Unless it's documented. Trusting something is stupid. I mean.. Documents can be manipulated, how do we anyway trust something that is one's theory? This is no excuse to the damage we do to our land.

With the size of the polar icecaps reduced so dramatically, I don't think so.

Side: Wait..., What? No!

The reduction of the Polar Ice Caps has been greatly exaggerated ;-)
