Global warming refuted by facts

Why are the Democrats so determined to get their so-called cap and trade law passed now?

Climatologists have reported carbon dioxide has increased in the atmosphere, yet there has been a cooling trend over the past decade. They are now forecasting a continued cooling trend for at least the next two decades.

The cooling trend with higher carbon dioxide contradicts the current global warming theory advocated by Al Gore and those pushing this cap and trade bill. So far no one has offered a reasonable explanation for this cooling trend in spite of higher carbon dioxide using their global warming theory.

There is scientific data that correlates with our current global cooling trend. That data is based on sun spots. During the past decade, sunspot activity has been decreasing to the current state of none currently being detected. This also correlates with historical data associated with warming and cooling trends.

It seems to me Democrats are not truly interested in considering scientific facts which refute their argument for carbon dioxide. Could it be they are more interested in any theory and bill that will increase their control and involvement in our daily lives?
