sciencedaily.com — South Dakota State University researchers and their colleagues elsewhere in America and in France have found compelling evidence of a previously undocumented large volcanic eruption that occurred exactly 200 years ago, in 1809. The discovery helps explain the record cold decade from 1810-1819....

"The biggest nail in the coffin of AGW is the fact that the globe has been cooling for the past 11 years"This is false. Temperatures have plateaued over the last decade, but the long-term trend has been an upward climb."the experts who support the view that CO2 and human generated CO2 is what was riving the last waming trend can't even begin to explain it."The thing they couldn't explain, if you're referring to the email I think you're referring to, is why satellite data does not reflect the same steady climb in temperatures that more reliable ground-based thermometers have recorded. We know the climate is warming, but space-based measurements don't accurately reflect that, which is frustrating, but hardly changes the fact that it *is* warming.

Or LACK of significant volcanic eruptions allow the earth's atmosphere to warm up. If we had more real records, it would probably show that the layers of ice leading up to the volcanic event were less and less, indicating a warming trend.....that is not in the article

*gasp* maybe there's more influencing the weather that isn't co2

You have any proof this is the actual cause of the 11 year cooling trend we are having? The stroger science shows it to be linked to solar activity.<a class="user" href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/09/10/svensmark-global-warming-stopped-and-a-cooling-is-beginning-enjoy-global-warming-while-it-lasts/" rel="nofollow">http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/09/10/svensmark-gl ...</a><a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKoUwttE0BA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKoUwttE0BA</a>The interviews are in Enfglish.

If we had voted the other way, these undocumented volcanoes would never be allowed to enter the country!

No it was actually daisies that caused it! Daisies always grow where trees can't. I blame the daisies!

climate change is real... the climate changes all the time.But this probably puts a big dent in the hockey stick theory.

The small minded belief in global warming is proof that a lot of people need to get out a lot more. Too many people are so gulled that they refuse to look into anything for themselves and as a result try to shame others into buying the panic. But as I have said before; "You can move sheep by scaring them."
