No doubt in my mind that both the oil industry and the anti-CO2ers spin. But most of the media are on the anti-CO2ers side and certainly Obama and his EPA are.

I have read some articles about solar cycles and sunspots and global warming.

BBC recently reported a study that found that pine forests emitted certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These specific VOCs combine with dust and water vapor to make trillions of tiny little "mirrors" that reflect sunlight back into space, thus significantly dampening global warming. The higher the temperature, up to a certain point, the more of these particular VOCs are emitted by the pine forests and the more sunlight gets reflected back into space. I have diligently searched the New York Times several times and the study has not been mentioned yet. Nor have I seen it reported on CBS, MSNBC, ABC or PBS.
