Oh, boy. It seems as if the Kyoto pact just isn’t strong enough to stop rampant global warming. (Hat tip, Right Wing News) The Russians have signed it, but:
“This mustn’t lull us into thinking that the problem is solved,” Pachauri said. “Kyoto is not enough. We now have to look at the
problem afresh.”
Sounds like a wonderful recommendation for the US to sign the treaty. “Hey, it really doesn’t do much, but sign it anyhow.” No wonder the Senate rejected it 95-0.
Certainly greenhouse gasses are dangerous, however, the science is rather fuzzy when it comes to global warming. I wonder if it has anything to do with the sun being hotter?
The sun is burning hotter than usual, offering a possible explanation for global warming that needs to be weighed when proceeding with expensive efforts to cut emissions of greenhouse gases, Swiss and German scientists say.
“The sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures,” said Sami Solanki, the director of the renowned Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany, who led the research.
Oops.
