The warming of Politicians

A useful point in the discussion of global warming:

While temperature numbers can be added up, the result is not a “total temperature,” because no such thing exists. Neither does the global “average” temperature describe the actual climate, any more than the “average phone number” describes the phone book. (#)

After decades of talk back and forth about global warming, global cooling and in general, changes in global climate, it is only just recently that some actual consensus has been reached about the methods for measuring temperature changes in Earth's climate. With that discussion coming to an end, the next question is to figure out what exactly causes these changes, if they are of any significance, if they are our (the human race) fault or no-ones fault, and if changes in global temperatures should become a reason for political intervention.

The Kyoto-protocol turned out to be just another tool of the Left to grasp control over the free market. Suggesting that politicians have a role when it comes to climate issues is a risky business. How about giving the free initiative a chance a little longer? It has worked wonders until now, and there is no reason to think it won't from now on.
