Arctic Sea Ice recovering? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2485772

Global warming 'pause' may last for 20 more years and Arctic sea ice has already started to recover

Study says warmer temperatures are largely due to natural 300-year cycles

Actual increase in last 17 years lower than almost every prediction

Scientists likened continuing pause to a Mexican wave in a stadium

Al Gore is sure we will stop GW http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/08/21/al-gore-explains-why-

hes-optimistic-about-stopping-global-warming/

 Al Gore Quotes: And some 17 other countries are in

various stages of adopting either a cap and trade or carbon tax or both. 

When you look at the EPA process, it’s undeniably clear that there will be a price on carbon one way or the other.

White House to regulate Bovine Flatulence? http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/28/white-house-looks-to-regulate-cow-flatulence-as-part-of-climate-agend

White House looks to regulate cow flatulence as part of climate agenda 03/28/2014

The White House has proposed cutting methane emissions from the dairy industry by 25 percent by 2020.

This comes despite falling methane emission levels across the economy since 1990.

Global Cooling?

 Forget global warming!? Earth undergoing global COOLING since 2002! Climate Scientist Dr. Judith Curry: ‘Attention in the public debate seems to be moving away from the 15-17 year ‘pause’ to the cooling since 2002’

Growing number of scientists are predicting global cooling: Russia’s Pulkovo Observatory: ‘We could be in for a cooling period that lasts 200-250 years’

‘Sun Sleeps’: Danish Solar Scientist Svensmark declares ‘global warming has stopped and a cooling is beginning…enjoy global warming while it lasts’

Prominent geologist Dr. Don Easterbrook warns ‘global COOLING is almost a slam dunk’ for up to 30 years or more

Australian Astronomical Society warns of global COOLING as Sun’s activity ‘significantly diminishes’

Global Cooling?

Global warming? No, actually we're cooling, claim scientists

A cold Arctic summer has led to a record increase in the ice cap, leading experts to predict a period of global cooling.

Global Warming will cause human extinction? http://www.smh.com.au/environment/clima

te-change/climate-change-could-make-humans-extinct-warns-health-expert-20140330-35rus.html

The Earth is warming so rapidly that unless humans can arrest the trend, we risk becoming ''extinct'' as a species, a leading Australian health academic has warned.

Helen Berry, associate dean in the faculty of health at the University of Canberra, said while the Earth has been warmer and colder at different points in the planet's history, the rate of change has never been as fast as it is today.

Father of Environmentalism reverses position on GW? http://www.theguardian.com/environ

ment/2014/mar/30/james-lovelock-environmentalism-religion

 James Lovelock: environmentalism has become a religion and does not pay enough attention to facts, according to James Lovelock.

 "it’s just as silly to be a [climate] denier as it is to be a believer” and that fracking and nuclear power should power the UK, not renewable sources such as windfarms.
