Sure, but we know that climate has changed abruptly in the past. So what? The question is one of what propels the change, and is continued change likely and might it accelerate. Say, as a climate expert, is it true that the climate hasn't warmed since 1998? If you look at the temp data, there is lots of high frequency noise (year to several decades duration). That is not the point. In the dim early years of CO2 global warming (1970's or early 1980's IIRC), scientists predicted that by 2000, the background trend of global warming should emerge above the shorter duration noise. Thats why it is science, and not blather. If we experienced a decade cooling trend, the likes of Ann Coulter and Rush would wax on about those stupid scientists being wrong. LOL!
