"The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down."

What will the liberals do, hopefully it is less likely there will be new government regulation now that their lies are exposed.

A natural cooling will be erroneously interpreted by environmentalists as proof that their actions and policies worked.  Unfortunately, this will only ecourage them.  We can only fear where their next misguided effort is directed.

Yup, the next item on the agenda: the planet and humanity is facing catastrophic global cooling . . . and it's all your fault with your cars!  Welcome to that 70's Show . . . you are living it.

Actually based on their past performance and methods this will have been conveniently 'predicted' by their studies.  Prediction in this context meaning five to ten years ago a study was made and a prediction issued, and every year or so the data 'updated' to reflect newer measurements with little to no notice given and the marvelous accuracy of the 'prediction' then praised.  Of course this is like predicting sports wins and stats for the coming year and updating your 'predictions' every month as the season unfolds and then congratulating yourself on your brilliance, but that kind of analogy and criticism tends not to move the true believers.

Of course the bottom line is if this turns into a trend it was predicted, by the people who say the sun is a greater driver of climate than other natural forcings.  But that too will be ignored because it will be unearthed that one or more of said people bought gas at an Exxon station once in their lives, and are therefore shills for Big Oil.

I believe this episode of South Park shows how silly global warming is.  The episode also references katrina, and makes fun of that disaster.  But the global warming I want to concentrate on.  Somehow, the "cooling" the people will still complain on global warming.  That it screwed up our seasons, and has caused chaos in tempertures.
