Global Cooling on CNN

Joseph D’Aleo of the International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project (ICECAP) was on Lou Dobbs last night.  He’s making the argument that the Earth is not warming at all, but is in fact cooling.  He bases his argument on several issues.  I found the entire article interesting because:

  • He claims that world mean temperatures have been skewed because a lot of rural data gathering discontinued after 1990.  This skewed the data to more urban areas.  Urban areas are warmer than their surrounding rural areas.  I’ve been saying that for five years here.
  • The sun’s activity has been much slower than usual.  We’ve not experienced sunspot activity this low for many years.  Sun’s weather activity affects our own.  Me and the Farmer’s Almanac have been saying that for years.  OK, the Farmer’s Almanac has been saying it a lot longer.
  • He thinks over-reacting to Al Gore’s plans would create an economic mess and potentially cause more harm than good.

Biggest thing to me is this was on CNN.  That just seems to be a huge shift in policy from their normal programming.
