Is Global Warming a Crisis?

Is Global Warming a Crisis?

Global warming has quickly become one of the most heated issues in America (pun intended). Rising temperatures and melting icebergs are indisputable evidence that the Earth is warming, but is this global heat wave a man-made crisis or just overblown hype?

    NASA:Sun's output getting weaker

    This press release from NASA is the kind of hard science that global warming alarmists choose to ignore. The title is "Solar Wind Loses Power, Hits 50-year Low" and the website is :

    www.science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/23sep_solarwind.htm

    This is indisputable science from NASA satellite. It is not a questionable computer model like the infamous hockey-stick chart.

    NASA disclosed that the solar wind is now "13% cooler." Period. This is a fact. No debate necessary unless you have had your own satellite up there for 50 years taking readings. They disclosed this is a "long term trend." Cooling, not warming.

    This explains all the record cold and the growth of the ice caps in 2008/2009.

    NASA does not have any explanation for this unprecedented discovery. It's very cold where I live, and I am putting another log on the fire.

    Sure , it was warming for a few years there. However, now the planet is cooling despite the 0.038% of our atmosphere that is CO2. The "computer models" were wrong. Climate is always changing, and now the science points clearly to a cooling trend.
