The Revenge of Gaia by James Lovelock looks like an interesting read.

Good article, thank you for posting that.

I showed it to my other half, who was quick to point out many other examples of physic's that illustrate erroneous claims made in the global warming hysteria.

Global warming may be occurring (or not), and humanity may be contributing to it (or not), but both sides of the debate have shown a willingness to distort the facts in support of their arguments, or even claim facts where they don't exist. Making sweeping proclamations about what the global climate is going to do over years based upon some short-term weather data of dubious veracity and a few random ice core samples (but only the ones which support your stance either way) is not good science. It's not really science at all. There are witch doctors with greater scientific principles and ethics than the Global Warming gravytrainers.

I'll believe it when Toni Marsh presents the weather while clad only in a thong.
