Global Warming, Except for the Warming Part

Still believe that man-made C02 is sending the planet to dangerous levels of heat? Well, more and more people - yes, scientists too - are stepping aboard the Global Warming Deniers bandwagon. Lorne Gunter outlines the growing chorus of dissent:

Don Easterbrook, a geologist at Western Washington University, says, "It's practically a slam dunk that we are in for about 30 years of global cooling," as the sun enters a particularly inactive phase. His examination of warming and cooling trends over the past four centuries shows an "almost exact correlation" between climate fluctuations and solar energy received on Earth, while showing almost "no correlation at all with CO2."
