Actually there's an economic interest in making everyone believe there is man-made global warming.

Your Venus comparison is apples and oranges btw. There are a hell of a lot of other reasons Venus is an oven. The most important being that it's sitting right next to the sun. C'mon now.

Local variations in temperature stability have a heck of a lot more reasons than C02. What about the Medieval Climatic Anomaly, or the Little Ice-Age? Regional variations have nothing to do with global climate.

One very good Canadian documentary is here:

Well worth a watch.

One very interesting point is that - while yes - we are experiencing a global warming, it's a global warming since the late 19th century, and meteorological data began just at the end of the last cyclic cooling period.

Another is that while surface temperatures seem to be rising...there has been no change in atmospheric temperature in the last 25 years. The exact period that the IPCC modified its position on in 2001 - the position that global warming is attributable to man-made gases that is.

There have been warmer global periods than ours also. This is statistical fact. These warmer periods over the last 10,000 years have had not a doggoned thing to do with man-made C02.

And what about the falling sea level in the Maldives?
