Carbon tally shows growing global problem
World summary of emissions reveals continuing gains.
Global carbon emissions are now growing by 3.2% a year, according to results presented at an Earth science conference in Beijing on 9 November. That's four times higher than the average annual growth of 0.8% from 1990-99.

According to the top climatologist in the U.S. [Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT], there is ample evidence that, measured at the equator, the Earth's temperature has been constant within +/- one degree centigrade for more than the past billion years. source]
The fact that certain areas of the globe have temperature extremes proves only that the Second Law of Thermodynamics works: When one part of the globe, such as Europe and North America, is hotter than usual like last summer, another part of the globe must be colder than usual -- witness the blizzards in southern Africa, and the lower Antarctic temperatures during the same time.
If the Earth were warming significantly, the temperature increase would show up at the equator. But it's not warming there; there is no overall, planet-wide 'global warming.' Globaloney purveyors simply pick a cold base year and Presto! Global warming! [Let me pick the base year, however, and I can show significant global cooling.]
Fact: Prior to mankind's appearance, the Earth's atmospheric CO2 has fluctuated wildly, from much lower levels than today's, to much, much higher levels -- for hundreds of thousands of years at a time.
Since CO2 levels have gone up and down over geologic time, and since the Earth's actual temperature has remained constant, there is only one possible conclusion: CO2 does not cause significant global warming.
Globaloney is a U.N. scheme designed to transfer American taxpayers' money into the U.N.'s ''World Tax'' of 0.7% of GDP, which equates to $300 - 400 billion a year. [Keep that in mind when you hear politicians talking about a ''Carbon Tax.'']
Globaloney is all about your money, and how other people can take it away from you.
