What Happened to Global Warming?

Yesterday, as Al Gore spoke in Madison about the "inconvenient truth" of global warming, Wisconsin experienced one the the earliest snowfalls in recorded history. Enthusiasts continue to enlist the government to mandate social behavior consistent with their belief in models that appear to have failed.... what happened to global warming:

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

When forecasted data is inconsistent with the related observed phenomenon, the model must be rejected as either invalid or insufficient. Generally, this type of experimental outcome would cause a scientist to change or abandon a hypothesis. Perhaps the global hypothesis is much more to Al Gore than a hypothesis or a theory but involves a belief system that is based upon faith rather than data.

Umbilical Cord Stem Cells Successful in Treatment of Type 1 Diabetes

Amazingly, stem cell treatments using umbilical and adult stem cells continue to show great progress.

CHICAGO, June 29, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new US study offers insights into the way stem cells from umbilical cord blood can be used to successfully treat diabetes. Researchers at the University of Florida College of Medicine studied twenty children aged between two and seven with type 1 diabetes, seven of whom were injected with cord blood cells. The researchers concluded that the study suggests that the cells “jump-start” and correct the patient’s own immune system.

"This is the first attempt at using cord blood as a potential therapy for type 1 diabetes. We hope these cells can either lessen the immune system's attack on the pancreas or possibly introduce stem cells that can differentiate into insulin-producing cells," said the lead researcher, Dr. Michael Haller.
