Maybe It Was Just Hot Air

We've long maintained that whatever "global warming" might be occurring could be due to the surfeit of hot air generated by politicians, pseudo-scientists and ech-whacko agitators. Now it seems that the situation has stablizied since 1998.

One thing not mentioned in the article, though, is that the world had been coming out of a 500-year mini Ice Age since the middle of the 19th Century.

Unless, of course, one stood to further one's political agenda -- not to mention earn a comfortable living at taxpayer expense -- by stirring up hysteria among the masses.
