December 30, 2007 By NOAKI SCHWARTZ, Associated Press Writer

(AP) -- California is defined by its scenery, from the mountains that enchanted John Muir to the wine country and beaches that define its culture around the world.

Anthropogenic global warming is a fraud. There's no PROOF that the ongoing changes in our atmosphere are anything but normal variations.

Dont fret people...instead save these articles and use them in a decade or two in order to show your kids how wrong the press reports and politicians were. I am cutting and pasting these doom and gloom stories along with all the ones I have found from up to a century in the past to show how gullible the press was. Every time it happens it is about getting votes, money, and taxes - people succumb to the fraud every time. the stories after the dustbowl were even more doom and gloom than these ones are...but it was far worse than the current situation uprooting entire cities because of the heat and no rain. Just wait when the weather starts cooling a new guy is going to emerge and declare global cooling and how man is causing it...it will take a few years, but is certainly more predictable than the weather errrr 'climate'.

This article is pure conjecture.

#4 is spot on. Save all these articles and in 10 years see where we stand. We have the best standard of living that human history has ever seen. Why? fossil fuels, capitalism, and freedom. All the doom and gloomers will be nowhere to be found when we eventually come to realize that the earth is in control, not us measley humans. If people really want to stop global warming, fight water vapor, the #1 greenhouse gas. Its great to see that there are people here on physorg that see through the propaganda of global warming, realizing that the science of climatology is in its infancy. The Earth is far more in control of things than us humans. To say we are more powerful than mother nature is naivity and egoism. we are at the mercy of the Earth, not vice verca.

At the very least, this article doesn't contain the normal, "You're being warned, do something now!" crap that they usually contain.

This one just disseminates the predictions that climatologists are forecasting. Considering that this prediction is purely trend-based, you can't fault them for forecasting this incorrectly, any more than you can blame them for being wrong about it raining or snowing.
