The Year Global Warming Died

(This post, originally published on Dec 28, 2008, has had additional news ammended to the end)

This is perhaps one of the BEST articles I have read in a long time. Mr. Booker, of The Telegraph (UK), has written a wonderful piece discussing why 2008 has become the year “global warming” has died.

The story begins:

The first, on May 21, headed “Climate change threat to Alpine ski resorts” , reported that the entire Alpine “winter sports industry” could soon “grind to a halt for lack of snow”. The second, on December 19, headed “The Alps have best snow conditions in a generation” , reported that this winter’s Alpine snowfalls “look set to beat all records by New Year’s Day”. (Source)

And it just gets better after that. I strongly recommend reading the entire piece. Its thoughtful and provides many specific points.

UPDATE:
Alright, I just read another article that fits in with this one so, I’m amending the new information to the original above.

Apparently, the cards are falling faster than I had thought. In a land where socialist beliefs are the norm, voices of sanity are rising fast in the European Union. Despite attempts to make challenging the disproven theory of global warming illegal in some countries, some leaders refuse to believe in the hype and are speaking up:

EU’s new figurehead believes climate change is a myth
The European Union’s new figurehead believes that climate change is a dangerous myth and has compared the union to a Communist state. (Source)

I think 2009 will see even more of a decline in support for this global warming myth. Sort of like how these have been some of the coldest months in history!
