Being that there has been no measured warming since 1998, and recently it was announced that there will be a decade (or more) cooling trend in the near future, it may not be such a bad idea to question the histeria surrounding global warming.
For those wondering what I'm talking about, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation is a change in the currents in the ocean which occurs on 20 to 30 year intervals; with the inequal distribution of weather stations in the world it has the side effect of increasing the measured temperature of the world durring one phase, and cooling the measured temperature of the world durring the other phase. For the past 25 years we have been in the warming phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and for the next 20 to 30 years we will be in the cooling phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation; it has been argued that the warming that is attributed towards global warming could actually be explaned by the PDO along with the long standing sunspot cycle, but this is largely ignored by people because Global Warming is a political issue not a scientific issue.
