George W. Bush - Getting The Job Done On Global Warming

The earth's mean global temperature has not risen for the past 8 years. Another Bush Administration accomplishment. ^{via Dignified Rant}

Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase (there was actually a slight decrease, though not at a rate that differs significantly from zero).

Yes, you did read that right. And also, yes, this eight-year period of temperature stasis did coincide with society's continued power station and SUV-inspired pumping of yet more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
