Here's a collection for your green reading pleasure:

1) The Scotsman: "Detailed temperature records date only from 1860.   These show that between then and 1915 there was no change in the northern hemisphere.   Between 1915 and 1945 there was a rise of 0.4C, countered in the following 20 years by a fall of 0.2C.   During the remainder of the 20th century there was a rise of 0.4C, making an overall increase of 0.6C over the century." and "Britain had almost tropical temperatures in the Roman period and was at least as hot as today in the Middle Ages."

2) Washington Times: "Duke University scientists announced yesterday that 'the magnitude of future global warming will likely fall well short of current highest predictions.'" and "The Duke estimates show the chances that the planet's temperature will rise even by 11 degrees is only 5 percent, which falls in line with previous, less-alarming predictions that meteorologists made almost three decades ago."

3) Chicago Sun Times: "in 1970 the planet stopped its very slight global cooling and began to undergo very slight global warming.   So in the '80s, the doom-mongers cast off their thermal underwear, climbed into the leopardskin thongs, slathered themselves in sun cream and wired their publishers to change all references to "cooling" to "warming" for the paperback edition.   That's why, if you notice, the global-warming crowd begin their scare statistics with 'since 1970,' an unlikely Year Zero which would not otherwise merit the significance the eco-crowd invest in it."

4) The Guardian Limited: "This is embarrassing, but I've become a fossil fuel supporter.   Cheap hydrogen, the most viable low-carbon heat source, depends neither on nuclear power nor renewables - but on gas."

5) The Inquirer: "With around 200,000 PCs running the experiment non-stop for two months, it looks very much as if the BBC experiment is making more of a contribution to global warming than scientific knowledge."

Enjoy!
