Yes, the globe is warming.  Yes, the globe was cooling.  It is a cycle, 
like everything else in nature.  Our earth will warm a little then cool a 
little.  Like high tide and low tide.  Just like the sun goes through an 
11 year cycle.  Some year there are more sun spots than others.  Cycles 
people.  I agree that this whole getting crazy about global warming is 
just a way to hype people and even, as Bryan suggests, drum up more moola 
for the scientists who really know that their claims are exagerated.
