I’m sorry, the third sentence should end which should read “…not currently factors.”

Hogwash. Climatologists know what has caused climate change in the past, changes in the earth axis, fluctuations in the earth’s circuit around the sun, and changes in solar radiation. These are measurable and currently a factor. But CO2 has been increasing from 270 ppm during most of past human history to 390 ppm today, consistent with increases emissions from fossil fuel combustion. There is no other suitable explanation for the increases in oceanic and tropospheric temperatures and cooling of the lower stratosphere that the planet is experiencing.

We would be unwise to disregard the science of epidemiology for off the mark projections of a few epidemiologists, i.e. the swine flu epidemic predictions. So with disregarding the science of climatology (the 97% of active climatologists who believe in anthropogenic global warming) for the failures of a few.

You know I’m not a cold hard science kind of person I’m more about humanity, love and compassion, and believe that each individual has that capability.

What you say has it’s place and is right, however that job is for others

I hope you’re well Joe.

Love, Deepa

The best response to the sceptics is not to try respond to their humanity. They use science, and so we need to do is find cold, hard science to rebut their views piece by piece.

This is why the glacier claim that was off by ~300 years is so tragic, it shows that the IPCC was relying on grey ’science’, undermining the authority of the IPCC and with it, the rest of climate science.

There’s no doubt the the planet is warming , the main subject for debate is what is causing the warming ?
Given that the earth has been warmer in the past , it is possible that not all of the current warming trend is due to Co2 emissions and just a natural cycle of this planets climate .
That said ….it is time to stop trashing the planet and start recycling more goods whilst using renewable energy …

this is an impressive post.. I didn’t even think from the point of view u have written about.. even mentioning 2035 is shooting in the dark.. it can happen later or God Forbid, earlier.. that is something that we cant imagine of the extent to the damage; not only to humans but to the living kingdom at large.

this brouhaha is being created by all the lobbyists and those people who are being directly effected, economically, by climate change..
