Ah, yes global cooling. The thing that has been predicted for at least thirty years by now. The most common argument is that solar activity is declining. Tough luck. CO2 is rising faster than the sun can become colder. We are in a solar minimum and yet we somehow break temperature records?

No.. just bad climate science all around.

You are, at this point, just shadowboxing.

We broke records everywhere on earth simultaneously? We did nothing to change our measurement strategy or equipment in the past 150 years? What annoys me is everyone finds their favorite justification for austerity and then just runs with it. It's not serious and it's not particularly good science.
