You'd be wrong. Of course because my area of expertise is earth science I've actually met many of the players and hung around with a huge number of scientists who specialize in the earth system sciences.
Why do I have this sneaking suspicion that everything you just claimed here is a big fat steaming hunk of shit?
It's Anthropogenic Climate Change
Oh great... yet ANOTHER meaningless buzzword!
and it is defined as the effects of humans on climate.
A meaningless definition, thus the aforementioned term remains a buzzword. What are "the effects of humans"? What is "climate"?
It is "change" because as the overall global temperature
... an unknown value.
(as measured as an "anomaly"
Anomalies are calculated values, not measured values.
or temperature difference from a baseline temperature set)
or calculated from a baseline set of random numbers... or, in simple terms, random numbers.
This is the foundational axiom of the Church of Global Warming, yes... "Earth's temperature is increasing!" ... Okay, I got that bit... but why should any rational adult believe this? In fact, why should any rational adult adopt a religion that outright rejects logic, science, AND mathematics? At least Christianity (a religion that I accept as true) doesn't require me to deny any of those things...
which leads to a variety of effects including local warming but also possibly even local cooling.
So "Anthropogenic Climate Change" is just another word for weather?? Why not simply stick with the word 'weather'?
Let's take an example: The Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. It is part of a larger overall system of circulation in the North Atlantic. At it's northern point it goes by Greenland. As the Greenland ice sheet melts it pushes cold, fresh water into the water column and the density differential between that cold fresh water and the saline water of the ocean causes an impact on the gulf stream and the overall THERMOHALINE CIRCULATION. There's geologic evidence that this has slowed or rearranged in the past. And we see evidence that with global climate change and warming in the high latitudes as the Greenland Ice Sheet melts it IS having an effect on this circulation.
Your example is meaningless until you can define your terminology. I see no reason to believe that what you are claiming to be "anthropogenic climate change" is anything different than the occurrence of weather.
The reason I bring this up is because IF the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation shuts down or rearranges it could very well lead to a significant COOLING in western Europe. Western Europe has a climate warmer than its latitude would suggest and that's because it is on the east side of the Atlantic and the Gulf Stream carries warm water up to that latitude.
Warm the earth --> Cool western Europe.
See above.
That's just one example. There are countless of them. But it all boils down to the fact (now very well established) that the planet IS warming
Yes, I realize that you are a very fervent believer in your faith, but faith is not science, no matter how much you wish to pretend that it is.
Assuming constant energy from the sun, where is this supposed additional energy coming from that is required to increase Earth's temperature?
I love it when the Marxist 'we' rears its ugly head...
cannot utilize natural cycles to explain the majority of the warming.
You have yet to explain where the additional energy (for the claimed "warming") is coming from... According to you, it "just exists". Ergo, a faith based belief. I wish that you would just be honest about it rather than attempting to redefine your faith as science...
There's that ugly Marxist 'we' again...
Another undefined buzzword, part of your church literature.
due to HUMAN ACTIVITIES the data makes very good sense.
Of course your church literature "makes very good sense". You are a BELIEVER in the FAITH, remember? To an English speaking outsider such as myself, your church literature might as well be written in Mandarin...
It explains 50% or more of the warming we've seen in the modern era.
Where is the additional energy required for this "warming" coming from?
