Solar activity still seems to be unusually quiet. Scientists speculate that that could indicate some cooler temperatures may be coming. So maybe--just maybe--mankind putting a lot of CO2 into the air will turn out to be a good thing.
If so, how ironic would that be? Gotta be an 11 on a 1 to 10 scale.

I am fairly certain that higher CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have some effect on the climate. It is, after all a weak greenhouse gas. This level would have to be extraordinarily small in comparison with water vapor which is the largest greenhouse gas. And Methane which has many times the heat trapping effect of CO2.
The global alarm ism is mostly a scam and the way you can tell for sure is that the alarmists are advocating policies which would not actually do anything to trim CO2 emissions. Cap and trade, among only the developed nations, would do pretty much noting but make some people rich and others poorer.

As Instapundit points out from time to time, the novel _Fallen Angels_ (by Niven and Pournelle) covered that ironic scenario all those years ago....

Those sunspots can be found, firmly affixed to Al Gore's arse.
Who dares to... um... rectify that situation?
