What is known is that there has been a slight rise in the mean temperature this century. It is not clear whether it is a statistically insignificant variation, naturally caused, or caused by human activities, and it is not clear that it will continue, or what climate changes should be anticipated in the next hundred years. Right at the moment, I favor the New Ice Age hypothesis, which was hot about 20 years ago.......

I guess you will have to consider me a screwball. Oh, we do. We do. <Sorry, couldn't resist. You walked right into it. I'll slap my hand for you.>

If you mean denial that there is sufficent evidence that the world is warming currently and is undergoing major human caused climate change then I guess you will have to consider me a screwball. Tim, I didn't say the world was warming (although it is), I said the climate was changing. And I didn't say that the human-caused change was major or even negative, only that humans are affecting climate. If you can't agree with those two points, I think we have to consider applying the "s" word. Karen
