Even the IPCC's own ranking members aren't buying it. Sorry, we can argue all week and we will still be on different sides of the fence. The IPCC’s computer models, used to predict the effects of global warming appears to have failed to accurately predict the influence that water vapor has on the temperature of the earth. Water Vapor accounts for The global warming scare is rapidly going the way of the cooling scare.
Sell those green chip stocks before they are good for back up toilet paper only. Had Kyoto been signed back in 1998, the global warming chicken littles would be strutting with puffed chests, proclaiming triumphantly their victory over global warming with this latest cooling trend. We would be saddled with the weighty cost of the cap and trade in perpetuity. It will be a hoot watching the disciples of Al Gore's First Church of the Hot and Gooey death and Discount House of Carbon Credits, hopping around trying to splain this one away.

Water vapor constitutes Earth’s most significant greenhouse gas, accounting for about 95% of Earth’s greenhouse effect (4). Interestingly, many “facts and figures’ regarding global warming completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapor in the greenhouse system, carelessly (perhaps, deliberately) overstating human impacts as much as 20-fold.
Water vapor is 99.999% of natural origin. Other atmospheric greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and miscellaneous other gases (CFC’s, etc.), are also mostly of natural origin (except for the latter, which is mostly anthropogenic).
Human activities contribute slightly to greenhouse gas concentrations through farming, manufacturing, power generation, and transportation. However, these emissions are so dwarfed in comparison to emissions from natural sources we can do nothing about, that even the most costly efforts to limit human emissions would have a very small– perhaps undetectable– effect on global climate.

Sorry man sell those stocks before they're worthless.
