You can take the mediation of global warming off the table as a necessary drag on the economy. Global warming is apparently over. The same data points that scientists used to prove its existence in the 1980's and 1990's - the 300,000 daily global climate measurements performed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - have, since early 2006, showed a striking reversal of the warming trend - a trend that had actually come to a halt about 10 years earlier. Since early 2006, average global temperatures have fallen so fast that they are now at levels not seen since the 1980's. The surface of the Arctic Ocean has once again frozen completely from Russia to Canada - but at an earlier date than the last several years' freezes. Using the most comprehensive set of climate data on the planet, scientists were correct in the past on their pronouncements about the existence of global warming. The same data set now tells the same scientists that global warming has been replaced by global cooling.
