Hi Alighieri; The morons are the guys who go around counting papers (or looking at scientific opinions on climate) for political reasons. C'mon now...that happens on both sides of the debate. The question that is under political debate is "should we have laws with the object of reducing carbon emissions in the United States". Of course...for multiple reasons. That question is never asked of scientists. Nor are scientists asked "do humans cause most of global warming", or "is global warming a threat to our nations security". They're not asked questions like "could solar cycles have contributed to some of the warming of the last 50 years" . These assertions are demonstrably untrue. But I don't agree that the increase (a) is mainly caused by human behavior, (b) is dangerous or even undesirable, (c) can be decreased by reasonable political actions. That's fine...you are entitled to your opinion. At least you are not among those who deny that these environmental changes are taking place. I would caution you against assigning superficial interpretations to studies like the Greenland NEEM however. The fact that temperatures quit rising is just the icing on the cake. Caution here....local pauses and variations are typical in long term trends. Al
