Hello konrad,
When you look at the historical record starting oh lets say the 1970's, so you will agree that it is relevant,the world was cooling. So much so that your AGW gurus told us that a new ice age was coming. Then when they didn't generate the fear they needed to grab some serious cold hard cash they were gifted by the next climate trend which just happened to be a warming trend that went on until 1998. Fortunately for them they found some allies in the various governments of the world and pushed through all sorts of legislataion to control "the catastrophic" heating they observed. Remember governments love to tax people.
The problem was the climate science just could'nt prove what they were pushing (becaue it is pseudo science) and then came the real catastrophe CLIMATEGATE. Where it was shown for the whole world to see that the AGW proponents were lying to the whole world. They were falsifying data (that's where the 'hide the decline' originates) they were preventing dissenting papers from being published (academic fraud and conspiracy to commit said fraud) thus ensuring that the only "peer reviewed" papers were their own, and in the case of the IPCC using reports from activist organizations with no peer review at all to foment regulations that in the case of the head of the IPCC Dr. Pechauri were very, very, very lucrative.
So now do you see the time line...1970's cooling, 1980's-1990's warming, 1998 to the present cooling once again. And all the while the CO2 concentrations are increasing.
Show the posts I perpetrated the so-called global cooling hoax.....

To the board: That would be ANY of gslack's posts.
Are you trying to tell us that you HAVEN'T said the globe is cooling. I thought that's what you Icers believed!!! You've been trying to tell us the earth is cooling as long as I've been here. Then what WERE you complaining about when one scientist talked about "hiding the decline"? Now you're saying there is no decline!!! Are you confirming that "Climategate" was nothing more than an exercise in distraction, since you Icers have obviously lost the scientific debate?
