That is such bullshit. 99% of PHD atmospheric scientists believe in AGW. I believe in God.. Can I yet prove God's existence? No... 99.9% of the scientists (and the catholic church) several hundred years ago believed the sun revolved around the earth until Galileo stated otherwise. For well over a 1000 years "physicians" believed that disease was caused by "bad air" (Mal-Aria) greekmedicine.net Yet, 99% of the scientists believe mankind is responsible for global warming? And the fact that so many other variables factor into climate science, from cosmic influences like the sun, to oceanic and geophysical influences, means that atmospheric sciences only perceive a portion of the equation. And the very fact you think these PHD dudes would ignore the historical context of the paleo climate change shows the breath taking degree of your ignorance. Most of them have ignored the effect that a 20-30% decline in phytoplankton has created in elevated CO2 levels. IMO, it's not "coincidence" that CO2 levels rising by 20-30% correlate with a similar reduction in phytoplankton levels. I seldom see it mention, except by adherents to the Iron Fertilization theory.. The only thing they cite is growing acidification of the oceans killing phytoplankton, which to me is a "chicken-egg" argument.. Which predated the other? Would acidification be resolved if iron fertilization was undertaken to promote diatomic growth that would translate into "marine snow" and sequester that CO2 to the ocean bottom? So.. no.. I'm not convinced when 99% of the Phd (Piled High and Deep) climatologists tell me that mankind is responsible for global warming that they can't even properly quantify over a significant period of time. They can spin their models, and statistical methodologies from tree rings and other sources. But they cannot yet definitely state anything as a fact. Hawk
