The article shows it has been much warmer in the past without man made co2, it attributes this warm period to solar activity and solar mass, and even gos as far as to say cooling may have helped end the romans (who had been benefitting from the mild weather, reduced death rate and increased food production of warmer weather). How is this evidence? It contradicts the hockey stick graph, shows man made co2 doesnt drive the climate, the sun is a key driver of climate and that warm periods are beneficial!
Judging by the amount of web activity against AGW it could be the end of the theory, I just hope it comes before the economy is crippled from carbon taxes and before the exit date for Kyoto or we are screwed for the next 25 years as we try and meet impossible to meet co2 reduction targets.
And I really hope the cooling ends, another little iceage will make life very hard for everyone. If your unaware of the current science I suggest you start here: http://www.sepp.org/publicatio... Report Abuse

The theory itself - no, it gets stronger all the time as more research is done and we learn more about the planet%26#039;s climate.
Public acceptance of the theory - yes, polls have shown that over the past year it has eroded slightly. The campaign of misinformation has been somewhat successful in this regard.
I don%26#039;t think the media is doing anything differently than it always has. Many media outlets try to be %26quot;fair and balanced%26quot; and give both sides equal air time, which is actually unbalanced. Many right-wing media outlets and blogs just flat-out distort the facts. But this has always been the case.

Yes. Of course. Otherwise they wouldn%26#039;t have changed it to %26quot;climate change.%26quot;
