(meteorobs) Off-topic but of interest: Climate Change Scientific Facts.....Not Media Hype

[Richard Kramer]

Ed,

You needn't lose much sleep, the globe (along 
with some of the other planets) has been cooling 
for the past seven years and is likely to 
continue cooling through 2030. There's this small 
matter of the 180 year cycle due to solar 
inertial motion which seems to have a bit more 
influence on our global temperature (and that of 
some of the other planets which have been 
warming, and are now cooling, synchronously with 
us) than one of the most minor constituents of our atmosphere.
