UN: Globe is Cooling, Sun Not Involved.

Here's an interesting bit of news from UK's Daily Mail:
The world will experience global cooling this year, according a leading climate scientist.

The head of the World Meteorological Organisation said La Nina - the weather phenomenon which is cooling the Pacific - is likely to trigger a small drop in average global temperatures compared with last year.
What's that? The globe is going to be cooler this year ... ? Seems like someone might've been saying that for a few months now.

The other interesting part of this is that the World Meteorological Organisation is part of the United Nations who, of course, has been warning of doom and gloom and global catastrophe if we didn't do something to stop Global Warming.
The prediction - which follows a bitterly cold winter in China and the Arctic - is prompting some sceptics to question the theory of climate change.
Whoa! Now, you just hang on there. The debate is settled, people. Get back in line.

The article goes on to state:
Michel Jarraud, the World Meteorological Organisation's secretary general, said La Nina was expected to continue into the summer, depressing global temperatures by a fraction of a degree.
And, coupled with the fraction of a degree that the temperature has already dropped over the past twelve months ...

I don't know. I mean, I'm not a global climate change scientist, but I am a thinker, and two years of 'fraction of a degree' drops should be the counter-balance to a century of 'fraction of a degree' increases, shouldn't it?

It continues:
It said temperatures are influenced by a range of variables - including changes in the sun's output, pollution and weather cycles such as La Nina.
Waitaminute. The sun's output has something to do with it?

That's weird. Because, just a few days ago, the BBC said that the scientists have recently said that the Sun wasn't involved in global temperature.

Of course, that's also the same BBC that caved to Global Warming bullies and changed a story that announced the fact that there's been no global warming since 1998 to suit the whims of Climate Change alarmists, eventually removing that fact altogether.

So who knows whether the story they reported about the sun was accurate or if the scientists involved just threatened to call the BBC's reporter names until they gave in and published the piece ...
