      | Two scientists bet on global cooling.... Scientists Bet on Global Cooling "Two climate change skeptics, who believe the dangers of global warming are overstated, have put their money where their mouth is and bet $10,000 that the planet will cool over the next decade," according to the Guardian. "The pair, based in Irkutsk, at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, believes that global temperatures are driven more by changes in the sun's activity than by the emission of greenhouse gases. They say the Earth warms and cools in response to changes in the number and size of sunspots. Most mainstream scientists dismiss the idea, but as the sun is expected to enter a less active phase over the next few decades the Russian duo are confident they will see a drop in global temperatures." In the Cato book Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media, Patrick Michaels, a Cato senior fellow in environmental studies, explains why all the news we hear about global warming is bad. He argues that when issues compete with each other for monopoly funding by the federal government, a culture of exaggeration is created and the political community then takes credit for having saved us from certain doom.

| Re: Two scientists bet on global cooling.... ^^definately though...im not saying i believe it, was just interesting, and I would not doubt that when it comes to competing over public funds, it makes sense what these scientists can get people to believe... | ||||
