I linked this study earlier this week. I like how gavin wants to deny it.

I have almost tired of this subject. In the 70's the world was getting colder, we waited and then it got warmer, cooling to the point of ice age was no longer a worry so we decided we were going to get warmer, the seas would rise because all the ice would melt and our coastal cities would be flooded. I am just going to wait til 2040 and then come back here and mock the warmers.
in all seriousness....of course the climate is changing....hence why the global "warming" logo has fallen by the way side....
the question is....how much is man responsible for the change? there was a warming and a cooling about 500 years ago...what influence did man have then?
The discussion should not be about who has what evidence of global warming, global cooling or global staying roughly as it is, but about husbandry. How well we look after this planet and the creatures that inhabit it.
Maybe man is making it warmer, I know that her indoors says I make her warmer.....! maybe its due to aliens or fridges or both - the world, not 'er indoors!
It is ridiculous to take the view of some here, the 'Ya-boo, it ain't happenin' ' crowd. You and I and they need to just engage our brains and care for the world as we care for our own... cos the world IS our own.
Stop polluting, stop killing, stop being obscenely obese, stop being jealous of other people - the last two refer to Americans more than anyone else - and stop wanting things you dont need and can't afford.
How about stop wanting to take wealth from those who have, and give it to those who don't? How about stop acting like corporations and capitalism are evil entities operating of their own volition to the detriment of humans? How about stop taking more and more of our freedoms and turning them over to the state? How about getting the government the hell out of every aspect of our lives? How about stop allowing socialist Marxist communists to indoctrinate our children in public schools? If the Earth is getting warmer due to man, it is from the steam coming out of my ears and the hot air coming out of politicians mouths. If you're worried about CO2... PLANT A FUCKING TREE!
Still nothing? Pshaw. If only the warmers respected people with different conclusions. Science could benefit in the future if the issue was hammered out instead of the clinging to a theory that was validated by using models which contained assumptions about the theory itself. It's a tough job. Everyone understands that. We demand accurate and testable results without defensive reactions to legitimate criticisms. We demand open source models and data for this public endeavor. As part of the body called upon to fund this boondoggle, I feel it's our collective right to demand conclusions that conform to the rules of science and statistics.
The thing for me about global warming is the proposed solutions are good practices whether or not they are the cause. Less pollution. Less destruction of rain forest. Less waste of natural resources, etc.
