But the point is, as Steven Guilbeault of Greenpeace puts it: ‘Global warming can mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter, that’s what we’re dealing with.’ Got that? If it’s hot, that’s a sign of global warming, and, if it’s cold, that’s a sign of global warming.
And if it’s just kind of average—say, 9°C, and partially cloudy, as it will be in Llandudno today—that’s a sign that global warming is accelerating out of control and you need to flee immediately because time is running out!

Once again for emphasis - the bit in blue is Steven Guilbeault the bits in red are from Mark Steyn - journalist not expert.

I know, if you don't look REALLY hard you don't see the inverted coma showing the end of the quote - personally I think Steyn did that deliberately.

I will list SO MANY SOURCES that debunk global warming it will make even YOUR head spin. I am taking a mini vacation next week starting Sat.

IT IS ON... And once I do, I EXPECT YOU to admit that your SO CALLED experts could be WRONG.... Agreed?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-toxic gas which is essential to all life on earth. (Carbon monoxide, however, is extremely toxic and, if inhaled, will cause death very quickly.) All green vegetation requires carbon dioxide

as plant food, and the process of photosynthesis, in which plants take in carbon

dioxide, absorb solar radiation, store the carbon and emit oxygen, is basic to life. As

concentrations of carbon dioxide increase, the rates of growth of plants also increase.

Flowers and vegetables grown in hothouses are frequently fed with extra

carbon dioxide for faster growth and higher yields. As atmospheric concentrations
of carbon dioxide have increased from approximately 325 ppmv (parts per million
by volume) in 1970 to 375 ppmv today, wheat yields in Australia have increased in
the last 30 years, in part because of CO2 enrichment.

Every time a story on global warming is featured on TV, either a background image

of the cooling tower of a power station, with its plume of minute water droplets
above, or a smoke stack belching forth dark plumes of soot, fly ash, and other particulates,
is shown. In this mendacious way, carbon dioxide is identified as a serious
pollutant, and the US is always labelled as the world’s greatest polluter. (Australia is
frequently labelled as second to the US.)

Coal-fired power stations which have modern flue-gas scrubbing equipment built

into their exhaust systems, will have smoke stack emissions which are barely visible.
Mark Steyn commented:

In the past third of a century, the American economy has swollen by 150

per cent, automobile traffic has increased by 143 per cent, and energy consumption
has grown 45 per cent. During this same period, air pollutants
have declined by 29 per cent, toxic emissions by 48.5 per cent, sulphur
dioxide levels by 65.3 per cent, and airborne lead by 97.3 per cent.2

Carbon dioxide cycles naturally through the atmosphere, the earth’s land mass, and

the oceans. Huge volumes of carbon dioxide are injected into the oceans and atmosphere
during earthquakes and volcanoes. The amount of carbon contained in atmospheric
carbon dioxide is about 730,000 million tonnes (730 Gigatonnes of carbon
(GtC)). The annual transport of carbon to and from the land surface and the
atmosphere, is estimated at 120 GtC; between the oceans and the atmosphere the
estimate is 90 GtC. The annual emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere
resulting from human activities is about 7 GtC, less than 1 per cent of the total
atmospheric carbon mass, and less than 4 per cent of the natural annual emissions
from the biosphere and the oceans. Changes in the natural transport of carbon, as
well as human activities, have led to recent increases in atmospheric concentrations
of carbon dioxide.
