'Global Cooling' claims: FLASE

Matalin claims the Earth is cooling


Quote:
Skeptics of climate change often say the world has been cooling in the past decade.

Conservative pundit Mary Matalin made that claim on CNN's Situation Room on Oct. 22, 2009. Matalin warned that the Obama administration is pushing too many big legislative initiatives such as a cap-and-trade plan to slow global warming when the administration should be focusing on the deficit.

"If they care about reducing the deficit, which should be their No. 1 priority ... they're not going to be able to do this — all this other nonsense, cap and trade and all the rest of it. Too much, too fast," Matalin said. "Climate change is a fake issue anyway. ... There is not consensus science on what is causing global climate change. There is climate change, but for the last decade the climate has been cooling. There is the science. There is the data on that. They want to do this because they like to have all these programs being controlled by the government."

Re: 'Global Cooling' claims: FLASE

Could you define "FLASE", please?

Since when is gently ribbing someone about a mistake, an "attack"?

I put the smilie on the end to denote that I wasn't serious.

Re: 'Global Cooling' claims: FLASE

Global cooling maybe, but what about this?



Radiation lost increases as temperature rises. The first is the real data, all of the others are predictions.

Funny you should say that. Why should studies of global cooling stop? Global warming studies are still on-going, yet the globe is cooling now. Shouldn't it be the global warming studies that are halted?

Global cooling is not happening. Those who believe are either misinformed or have an agenda.

maybe it's colloquial terminology for "flaccid" ... it is understandable in any case.

At the moment because there is no link to source, and no context for the graphs about all I could make from that would be some dots on the screen
