Glenn Beck lol, the guy who still denies Global Warming?

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.

90% of Europe, the UN climate panel, a slew of scientists and weather experts and geologists disagree. I'm not surprised that North Americans see it as a myth though, same with China and India (ironically much of the research has been done by Indian personel). Here in Norway, the 7 warmest years in 200 years have been measure since 1998 and the aggricultural parts of out land is screwed up due to unexpected and unfamiliar temperatures and weather, the very seasons themselves don't function properly anymore here.

Grossly off topic perhaps, but there is no more science to support the claim that global warming is a myth than there is support that it is not. Which is why I treat the subject with respect. I can only go by my personal experience, and in my personal experience Norway is not the same as it was even 15-20 years back when I was a little boy playing in the snow (that we no longer have while areas that have not seen siginficant snowfall, Kristiansand and Oslo for instance, have been literally snowed down the last 3 years). 

Indeed, there is plenty of scientific evidence for globing warming. The most unfotunuate thing about the topic is that it has become a political issue. Most knowledgable people know it is a problem, but if you say that you are just being political...
