2007 was the coolest year globally and the temperature trend since 2000 is at best stable and may even be falling. This is clear evidence against manmade global warming so if Global wasn't caused by mankind what did cause it?

Hi there Isomania.. I am wondering where you got your facts from as they are not bourne out by the current research.. here are a few culled from the stop climate chaos website..(see below) but in summary there are now very few (if any) serious scientists in this field who doubt the huge significance of climate change bought about by the whole scale combustion of coal, oil and natural gas. We are putting billions of tonnes of CO2 in the global atmosphere every year, it is wishful thinking to hope that this is not having any kind of impact.


The 1990s was the warmest decade, and 1998 the warmest year on global record (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC).

The Earth is warming faster than at any time in the past 10,000 years (IPCC).

The burning of coal, oil and gas has increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by 30% over natural levels (IPCC).

By 2100 the world could be 6ºC (IPCC) - recent research (e.g. at Oxford Univ.) suggests it could even be as much as 10ºC warmer on average.

The summer of 2003 was Europe’s hottest for 500 years. The heatwave caused 28,000 premature deaths across the continent.

Europe’s capitals have warmed, some by 2°C in the last 30 years. London’s average maximum summer temperature increased the most. This warming trend will increase the likelihood of more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts and rainstorms (WWF-UK).


Best wishes

If the earth is gaining heat from the sun every year due to green house gases, and the heat is not in China (deep freeze) and adjacent countries, then where has the heat gone ?
