Let nature fix itself. http://www.sciencerecorder.com/news/researchers-volcanic-eruptions-offset-recent-global-warming/ Researchers: Volcanic eruptions offset recent global warming The researchers warn that the 10-year climate data sets collected by this study are not extensive enough to identify climate change trends. Erupting volcanoes offset recent Earth warming, according to a team led by the University of Colorado at Boulder. Researchers arrived at this conclusion after searching for clues about why Earth did not warm as much as climatologists expected between 2000 and 2010. ⦠According to Neely, tiny amounts of sulfur dioxide emissions from Earthâs surface eventually rise 12 to 20 miles into the stratospheric aerosol layer of the atmosphere, where chemical reactions generate sulfuric acid and water particles that reflect sunlight away from the Earth and back to space. The studyâs findings reveal that it is emissions from small to moderate volcanoes that have been offsetting recent Earth warming, according to Neely, a researcher at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences. ⦠According to Toon, larger volcanoes can have an even bigger effect than small and moderate volcanoes. He noted that when Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991, it sent millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, cooling the planet for the next several years.
Don't give Obama any ideas. He might decide to drill in Yosemite to release some volcanic gas. That would be a very bad idea!
This article is almost an onion piece. So they blame the sulfur dioxide from volcanoes for cooling. And note... this take the heat off india and for increasing their sulfur dioxide emission by 60 percent due to their coal burning. So we have Obama screwing the coal industry while we have agw nutters explaining the warming is not happening due to volcanoes and coal burning? Do have this correct? Is it time to go long coal?
Yet another source anticipating a solar minimum in our near future and showing that the sun has been the driver of warming in the last century. <img src=http://nextgrandminimum.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/sun-dictates-earth-climate.png?w=460&h=303>

a few months ago... while arguing with the agw nutters... I compared the warming co2 accumulation correlation to warming water vapor accumulation and asked does water vapor cause warming? who knew?
AGW looks like a far left conspiracy more and more as more data is scrutinized and more investigation is carried out.
Add this to the approaching solar minimum and we could be headed for a very cold change in climate. The Pacific Ocean has a warm temperature mode and a cool temperature mode, and in the past century, has switched back forth between these two modes every 25-30 years (known as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or PDO). In 1977 the Pacific abruptly shifted from its cool mode (where it had been since about 1945) into its warm mode, and this initiated global warming from 1977 to 1998. The correlation between the PDO and global climate is well established. The announcement by NASAâs Jet Propulsion Laboratory that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) had shifted to its cool phase is right on schedule as predicted by past climate and PDO changes (Easterbrook, 2001, 2006, 2007). The PDO typically lasts 25-30 years and assures North America of cool, wetter climates during its cool phases and warmer, drier climates during its warm phases. The establishment of the cool PDO, together with similar cooling of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), virtually assures several decades of global cooling and the end of the past 30-year warm phase <img src=http://www.globalresearch.ca/articlePictures/globalcool7.gif> http://www.globalresearch.ca/global-cooling-is-here/10783
Global Cooling Forecast by Larry Vardiman, Ph.D. * Introduction It was announced at the recent annual meeting of the Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society (AAS/SPD) at New Mexico State University that the next 11-year solar sunspot cycle, Cycle 25, will be greatly reduced or will not occur at all. Magnetic fields erupting from the sun will be so weak that few if any sunspots will form. The current sunspot cycle, Cycle 24, started out late and slow and will likely produce a very weak solar maximum in 2013. This report from the National Solar Observatory (NSO) and the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kitt Peak in Arizona indicates that the familiar sunspot cycle may be shutting down for a while, causing global cooling.
