OMG! 150 years of data? Wow! they really went out on the scientific limb with that. 150 years is a fraction of a second in geologic time. If they look at temperatures over longer periods of time, it is still very clear that we are well within normal cyclical variations in global temperature. What I want to know is why no climate scientists ever bring up the fact that the earth's magnetic field is in flux right now and has huge holes in it (and my be getting ready for a polar shift). The earth's magnetic field has weakened. And what does the earth's magnetic field do? oh yeah, it insulates the earth from solar energy. So work with me here, I know you claim to be a science type of guy.....if the earth's magnetic field is getting weaker and there is a slight increase in global temperature averages.....could this be a contributing factor to those changes? But why don't climate scientists talk about this? BECAUSE! they can't control human behavior if it is just a normal variable of the planet. And here's another thing....Nobody has proven that a slight increase in global temperature is bad. All indication is that it is GOOD! My God man, we are at the end of an interglacial period, who wouldn't expect warmer temperatures and less ice at the end of an interglacial period? I go hiking in the Sierras a lot. And you won't believe this, but every August, after three of the hottest months in a row, there's less snow in the sierra....OMG!! did you just read that right? YES! less snow in the sierra at the end of a long brutally hot summer. My God! if the temperature trend continues after August, there won't be any snow by January!
