Comments on: Giving Global Warming the Cold Shoulder http://www.adamsweb.us/blog/giving-global-warming-the-cold-shoulder/ Fighting a never ending battle...

Here is Ken Tapping addressing this article himself: "The article is rubbish. I believe that global climate change is the biggest problem facing us today. As yet we have no idea of exactly how serious it can get or where the tipping point may be. The lateness of the start of the solar activity cycle is not yet enough to be something to worry about. However, even if we were to go into another minimum, and the Sun dims for a few decades, as it did during the Maunder Minimum, it could reduce the problem for a while, but things will come back worse when the cycle starts again. We are looking at the downside of the freedom of the web. Its freedom extends to bad information being circulated.

If I wanted to, I could cull through your blog, and find "evidence" that you perform satanic rituals and you mutilate puppies for pleasure. Seriously, this is like proactive ignorance.
