This is absolutely the best and most informative video I have ever seen on the subject of whether Global Warming is true and if it it caused by man-made CO2.
I have never accepted the argument that 1 - there is a Global Warming Trend - and 2 can it be due to man's activities
1- Is there a Global Warming Trend - before this video I probably would have said yes, but it can not be man-made. My reasons are the fact that currently we see changes in the polar ice caps of IO and Mars. My SUV could have never had any impact there. Therefore I have always recognized a Global Weather Change (not necessary a warming trend - but just change in general). Change has always happened - there were ice ages in our past - more than one.
2- Man's activities? - CO2 generation - fact, before the last ice age CO2 levels were higher than the 1990. Only since 2000 has the current CO2 level been higher. High cCO2 levels in our past preceded an ice age - not global warming

This was an excellent video - but not perfect Over and over the panel asked him if this past decade was the warmest on record? Over and over he answered, NO it is not and keeps saying that the decade of the 1930s was the warmest. From his own data, he is wrong, in error, or just plane incorrect! Look at his own graphs The 1930s may have had the greatest number of "record setting" high temperatures. But the part he overlooks is that all of the 'high temperature' record set since must be greater than those of the 1930s Even from his own graphs this last decade appears to be warmer than the 1930s Did you notice this?

Global Warming vs. Climate Change: Does It Make a Difference?November 17, 20111:40 PM ET www.npr.org/sections/ombudsman/2011/11/17/142418671/global-warming-vs-climate-change-does-it-make-a-differenceIn the past 12 months, NPR's programming used "global warming" in 131 reports, which was indeed less than the 175 reports that referred to "climate change." Ten years ago, the order was reversed. "Global warming" made 172 reports then, more than twice the 80 on "climate change." The numbers prove both terms are still in use, but Palmer's onto something: "climate change" is increasingly prevalent. The term scientists prefer is actually "climate change," because that encompasses effects other than warming, such as changes in rainfall patterns, melting glaciers and rising sea levels. There are several scholarly journals using the term "climate change," such as Nature Climate Change and Climatic Change and the International Journal of Climate Change. The 1992 treaty that governs global warming is called the "Framework Convention on Climate Change." Use of the term "climate change" does not prescribe any action, or encourage any inaction, and so is correct to use.
