Karen, this is one of your more ab absurdo pieces of wordsmithing.

If you see a warming trend line, seems to me there must be a human factor in there somewhere. If you see an oscillating trend line, then the human factor is less salient.

An oscillating trend is, after all, one which has both up cycles and down cycles. Rather than assume, as both you and many scientists do, that the current warming cycle is due to human influence, why is it not equally logical to assume, as other scientists do, that it is simply a current up cycle part of an oscillation?

The fact is, nobody knows for sure. And we may not know for hundreds of years.
