Surprise...Surprise...Surprise. Please take special note of the last paragraph below.
I wonder what the debate about climate change would be like today had Al Gore not smothered it with human global warming scenarios, greedy carbon taxes and credits, and an inconvenient horror story?
National Snow and Ice Data Center: "Arctic sea ice appears to have broken the 2007 record daily extent and is now the lowest in the satellite era. With two to three more weeks left in the melt season, sea ice continues to track below 2007 daily extents."
U.S Energy Information Agency: In a surprise turnaround, the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years, and government officials say the biggest reason is that cheap and plentiful natural gas has led many power plant operators to switch from dirtier-burning coal.
Many of the world's leading climate scientists didn't see the drop coming, in large part because it happened as a result of market forces rather than direct government action against carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.
