Global Warming or Global Cooling?

Now I am really confused, there is supposed to be Global Warming, this is something that is costing us trillions a year in research and experiments, money going to prove we are causing this man made problem, and how we are going to make things right, with me so far ? Well now it seems that we have Global Cooling!!! News flash to all those scientist, if something is hot it cannot be cold at the same time !! So what is it, Warming or Cooling, at this rate it is costing us trillions for everyone to agree it is Global, the rest it seems depends on who you listen to

The following article represents an alternative view and analysis of global climate change, which challenges the dominant Global Warming Consensus.

INTRODUCTION

Despite no global warming in 10 years and recording setting cold in 2007-2008, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change (IPCC) and computer modelers who believe that CO2 is the cause of global warming still predict the Earth is in store for catastrophic warming in this century. IPCC computer models have predicted global warming of 1° F per decade and 5-6° C (10-11° F) by 2100 (Fig. 1), which would cause global catastrophe with ramifications for human life, natural habitat, energy and water resources, and food production. All of this is predicated on the assumption that global warming is caused by increasing atmospheric CO2 and that CO2 will continue to rise rapidly.

However, records of past climate changes suggest an altogether different scenario for the 21st century. Rather than drastic global warming at a rate of 0.5 ° C (1° F) per decade, historic records of past natural cycles suggest global cooling for the first several decades of the 21st century to about 2030, followed by global warming from about 2030 to about 2060, and renewed global cooling from 2060 to 2090 (Easterbrook, D.J., 2005, 2006a, b, 2007, 2008a, b); Easterbrook and Kovanen, 2000, 2001). Climatic fluctuations over the past several hundred years suggest ~30 year climatic cycles of global warming and cooling, on a general rising trend from the Little Ice Age.
