When it comes to global warming or cooling, there’s the view above and the view below. Take your pick.

As of this moment, the politico-scientific consensus seems still apparently tipped just a bit towards warming, though frosty 2008 has seen a serious questioning of that view. We might do well to remember what the National Academy of Sciences said just thirty years ago, when the consensus was very different: “In geological prospective, the case for cooling is strong…If this interglacial age lasts no longer than a dozen earlier ones in the past million years, as recorded in deep sea sediments, we may reasonably suppose the world is about due to slide into the next ice age.” (HT: Powerline)

Final question: how much do you care about global warming when you are worried about the possibility of losing your job? Answer: global what?
