Three things have happened recently in Metyu's world of global warming.
I was fortunate enough to receive a visit from the author of Digital Diatribes, pointing out that his analysis of global temperatures showed a continuous warming trend since around mid-1800. The warming pattern forms a sine wave, almost as you'd expect from a natural system. Below is his graph, extrapolated out to 2050. Note that at no point does it go above 1degC of warming.

The next significant thing came from paying attention to Ward Engineering over at The Environment Site forums. In a nutshell, Ward is a civil engineer who has been following changes in the alignment of the planets for a few decades, and has noticed a correlation with weather, particularly in terms of earthquakes and volcanoes. Of particular interest recently is what he terms the Jupiter System of Force coming into alignment with the Moon System of Force on March 26. The force systems exert "pressure" on the Earth in such as way as to effect earthquake zones and volcanoes. Sure enough, recently we have seen some volcanic activity. This in itself was not enough to convince me of anything in particular.
However, watching the news the other night, I noticed that parts of south-eastern Africa have been experiencing significant floods in recent weeks. It caused me to wonder if the activity Ward spoke of was in any way related. So I did some googling, and turned up several things of interest, which I have also written about here, complete with pictures. Basically, I discovered the floods were related to warmer than usual temperatures in the south western Indian ocean - which itself is an earthquake zone! I am no expert in these matters, however this struck me as significant. Particularly when you look at a global map of CO2 emissions (see link above), which shows that the concentration of CO2 above this part of the Indian ocean to be lower than elsewhere on the planet.
The third and final thing that I have come across is a study from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Wisconsin, which shows that recent warming of the Atlantic ocean may be due to a lack of dust:
"They say that the Atlantic temperature trend has been warmer by approximately a quarter of a degree each decade since 1980: but that most of this is actually because more sunlight is reaching the sea due to reducing levels of dirt in the air above it."
At the end of this year, governments from around the world meet to finalise proposals for an economic system to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, based on claims from scientists around the world that anthropogenic CO2 emissions could destabilise the planet's climate. Going on past experience of both economic systems and attempts to reduce CO2 emissions, I suggest that the latter is not possible, and the former is usually used to ensure the developing world remains developing. How much climate "aid" is going to be dished out in the form of high interest loans and incentives to buy our solar panels and wind turbines?
One has to wonder if scientists around the world will have the guts to stand up to government pressure, and wave goodbye to the so-called "consensus" that threatens to limit the ability of developing countries to use their own resources to drag themselves out of poverty. The bottom line is, there is no probable threat from climate change that justifies constricting and controlling people's ability to use the very resources we ourselves used to develop.
