    You got as better analysis, let's hear it.
    Actually Rdjntx is not the only one here saying that most of what you have been reading and believing are very bad assumptions based on a thimble full of data.

    A better analysis is that the world is going through another climate change only this time we are here to witness it.

    Also as Rdjntx stated and I agree, humans are contributing to the issue but we aren't even a back seat driver let alone in control of what is happening.

    you are wasting your breath because you are a sheeple of al gore.

    they made a bunch of ASSumptions in the 70s that said the earth would be in dire straights by 2000 (see my earlier post which I am sure you discounted since it was not pro warming) and they made the same exact claims as to cause and what needed to be done in order to prevent the calamity. and as I said in that post here we are in 2014 and nothing in their predictions has changed other than WHEn it is supposed to happen. but you keep drinking the kool-aid

    No, that's not what they are talking about in the Scientific American Articles.

    They are talking about the fundamental assumptions of the various studies, and how many years worth of climate data on which these studies are based. These lead to the well known conclusions. Also discussed are other possible explanations for trends seen in the data, and the amount much certainty they have of their overall conclusions.

    Those articles to which I refer go back 20 years or so, and the more yearly data the climate database acquires, the more the data agrees with the conclusion that the "enemy are us": we're driving this climate change by putting greenhouse gases in the air.

    Check it out. They got no political bone to pick.

    They are talking about the fundamental assumptions of the various studies, and how many years worth of climate data on which these studies are based. These lead to certain conclusions, and the studies routinely discuss other possible explanations for trends seen in the data, and to what conclusions the data actually lead and how much certainty they have of those conclusions.

    That is how it's done in science, not by simply exchanging emails and re-stating talking points.
    Get over the BS - untested science is as likely to be wrong as right. If you have ever worked with chemical or gas based industrial plants you would know that - often as much is unknown about the reactions in a process as what is for sure known.

    The warmers are feeding each other BS and have learned to enjoy the taste so they continue the circle - doing it over and over. Data and statistics are wonderful things - you can prove most anything you want.

    At present too much of the "scientific" study is just emailing BS back and forth supporting foolish warmer stuff.

    Yeah, so India is now the technology leader for the world? We're supposed to follow their lead.

    Earth has varied from Ice Ball to Sauna several times throughout it's history. Aliens, or Solar variation ?

    Okay, sure.

    Just install bigger air conditioning units... (solar powered, of course)
