Gee, that was the period of one of the biggest business recessions ever; just like in the 1930s when global temperatures reacted their peaks. If global warming is the result of human activity, why is there hotter temperatures and more CO2 during the downturns of industry ?! 2001 - 2006 huh?

Really??? In any case, perhaps there's no obvious correlation because there are significant time lags and we're looking at an accumulation of long-lived CO2 and its effects over years, not a simple "this year this much CO2 means this much warming" equation.

Who knew? Thanks for that breaking story! Also, did you perchance miss that part about energy-intensity/$GDP deteriorating? And it is not "human activity" per se that increase CO2. It's burning fossil fuels, deforestation and the like... but I already know you get that... It's oddly clear from the other site that you could offer a great deal, but instead you just want to play the crank. Pity. Wow, JB… the global economy shrank during 2000-2006? Who knew?
