Where is the Global Warming?

Prager is committing the same sad error that the AGW advocates committed for twenty years: he is talking in terms of lifetimes, centuries, this winter, last summer, or ever since they started keeping records.

These will not wash.

The planet's temperature goes up and down. A chart of historic temperatures looks just like the DJIA. The tracking needle shakes and pulses and gives us a massively jaggedy line. Sometimes the line bulges upward for a hundred thousand years, then it bulges downward for thirty thousand years. We have Ice Ages, not ice seasons. And that has been Mr. Gore's stupidity. He spent twenty years frightening people over "the warmest year on record", completely ignorant of the fact that the earth couldn't care less about a hundred years. A hundred years means nothing; the earth warms and cools by a couple of degrees now and then anyway. A thousand years wouldn't mean anything; maybe a hundred thousand years would be meaningful, but only if another half million years were to go by and the temperature hadn't changed to another level by then.

Bragging about "this was such a mild summer" gives the "latest five years" baloney credence. That is for children.
