The online edition of the Farmers' Almanac for 2009 is worth a read. An article on page 68 cites many different viewpoints than those cited by the Global Warming alarmists. Go to the article on this link for the full story.
In an explanation of alternatives to greenhouse gas theories they cite that the Sun and the planet's oceans are main causes of warming and cooling. They cite many natural solar cycles having major effects on the planet's temperature. Many of these are short such as eleven years. Others recurr over centuries. The graph they provide is an alternative to the NOAA graph described as faulty elsewhere in this blog. Using a five year average for each data point their graph paints quite a different picture. Their numbers show only a 0.21 degree increase in 2000 over the maximums recorded in the 1930s and mention that the deviation is within the margin of error of the computations. The one peak year barely matches the peak year of the thirties. They then bring to our attention many past headlines regarding global temperatures:
1895: Geologists think the world may be frozen again.
1912: The human race will have to fight global cold.
1912: The Titanic strikes an iceberg and sinks.
1923: The Ice Age is coming!
1930s: Searing heat causing drought.
1939: No doubt the world is growing warmer.
1940-1990: Then it cooled off again.
2009: Some scientists think an extreme cooling episode is imminent; Others think it is under way!
