How does ANYONE believe Murdoch media hack - and tabloid blogger - Andrew Bolt ?

and in the meantime global temperatures are dropping and our dams and rivers are filled again.
in other words, 100% WRONG.
Average global tempratures have INCREASED every decade - on the previous one - for the last seventy ( ... or so) years
You read TOO much "cash for comment" from the Heartland Institute
and you read too much sci-fi. in the 1960s the fear was global COOLING which of course occured because temperatures were RISING, right? gimme a break. you are brighter than that.
temperatures have never gone anywhere near outside the usual cycle of rise and fall. by 2025 there wont be a climate change hysteric anywhere to be seen because temperatures wil be a degree lower than now. and the change to cooler has already started.
Past Decade Warmest on Record According to Scientists in 48 Countries
Earth has been growing warmer for more than fifty years
July 28, 2010
The 2009 State of the Climate report released today draws on data for 10 key climate indicators that all point to the same finding: the scientific evidence that our world is warming is unmistakable. More than 300 scientists from 160 research groups in 48 countries contributed to the report, which confirms that the past decade was the warmest on record and that the Earth has been growing warmer over the last 50 years.
Based on comprehensive data from multiple sources, the report defines 10 measurable planet-wide features used to gauge global temperature changes. The relative movement of each of these indicators proves consistent with a warming world. Seven indicators are rising: air temperature over land, sea-surface temperature, air temperature over oceans, sea level, ocean heat, humidity and tropospheric temperature in the “active-weather” layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth’s surface. Three indicators are declining: Arctic sea ice, glaciers and spring snow cover in the Northern hemisphere.
“For the first time, and in a single compelling comparison, the analysis brings together multiple observational records from the top of the atmosphere to the depths of the ocean,” said Jane Lubchenco, Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator.
“The records come from many institutions worldwide. They use data collected from diverse sources, including satellites, weather balloons, weather stations, ships, buoys and field surveys. These independently produced lines of evidence all point to the same conclusion: our planet is warming”
