LoneClone - I totally agree with you that the scientific method is essential to the climate change discussion.

However the scientific method for climate studies requires consideration of data much longer than a 40 year period, it must also consider all of the causes for short and long term patterns in climate change.

Studies in physics, geology, and astronomy are remarkably consistent in attributing climate change to the position of solar system within the orbit around the milky way, the position of the earth's elliptical to circular orbit in relation to the sun, and the changing inclination of the rotational axis. As well, volcanic activity, glaciation, albedo... all contribute to climate change.

There is no doubt that fossil fuels are one of the contributing factors to climate change - as things as simple as jet contrails cause short term changes.

What is in doubt - as per application of the scientific method - is that this is a particularly warm period given temperatures over the past 10,000 years to millions of years or that it is anything more than just another interglacial warming period.

This is a controversial topic for many people as they don't want to be asked or told to "believe" that there is irrefutable certainty that climate change is occurring purely because of human action - or that this is a particularly warm period - the actual temperatures found during scientific investigation as in the following temperature graph based on scientific studies just doesn't show it.
