A British newspaper is reporting that CO2 emissions have risen sharply over the last two years and that a global breakdown of the Earth’s ability to absorb carbon may be occurring.
I do not know the science behind it, but I do understand the politics of it. It is funny that this report is issued the day before the global warming disaster movie “Day After Tomorrow” is released on video and DVD.
To some, this will come across as a publicity stunt, while others will take it seriously, while yet others will scratch their head and wonder what is really going on.
Here’s my take on it: I’m suspicious about the timing of this news story and something else: why did they put a CO2 sensor on top of a volcano in Hawaii? Of course there will be more CO2 there. This entire report is based on some sensor readings from Mauna Loa and I think it’s borderline fraud to use data from there. If a volcano enters an active phase, it will give off CO2 emissions. The Rim of Fire is entering an active phase for some reason, and many volcanoes that have lain dormant for years are all of a sudden coming back to life.
Here’s the report. Take it as you will.

http://www.rut.com/mdavis/riversRanDry.html is a discussion of the middle ages drought in the Western Hemisphere. It points out that we don't understand what is going on. You have a right to be suspicious about the timing of the report. Global climatologists are looking for the "key" or "keys" that produce climate change. The Rim of Fire could be one of those "keys".
