- Global warming denial alert: human activities cancelling nature's cooling trend
- New scientific data shows that not only is the Arctic warming, but human-caused air pollution is cancelling out a natrual trend that would otherwise have the Arctic cooling. The Arctic is the warmest it's been in 2000 years. That's despite a natural wobble in the earth's solar orbit...
