I don't see how you can acknowledge the warming without recognizing that human activity plays a part in it. Easy. You show that these climate variations were taking part just as much before human activity could have possibly be involved with them. IE: prior to the industrial revolution.

kholt, throughout the millions of years that life has existed on earth, there is evidence of weather swings that go from ice ages, to desert heat, where they were no expected. What is happening today, is nothing new, and will occur again in years to come. Looking at the weather in the north, and east, of this country, this past winter, it is hard to say there is global warming with a straight face.

I have reservations about that. I don't see how you can acknowledge the warming without recognizing that human activity plays a part in it You can acknowledge that climate variability exists without human activity, and existing warming trends are well within that natural variability. Which, apparently, it is. Edit: And IMO, until human contributions to such a trend can be conclusively and persuasively isolated from natural variability, the onus is on the global warming "advocates". Derek
