Global Warming Debunked?

1) The Earth is in a Warming Period (not sure why this is really never talked about) both on a local, smaller scale and the larger glaciation Cycle.(11,700 years ago was the Holocene/Pleistocene Boundary, or the end of the last major glaciation period and there was a cooling period after the Medieval Warming Period till arguably the 1850s)

2) Why is there very limited talk on the Oceans? I would say the Ocean is just as important to our Climate as the Atmosphere.

3) Climate traditionally to mean 20 years (or maybe it was 30 years?) of Weather. Not sure if this has changed, but "mostly" the media treats climate as a tool that changes daily. I think they are using the wrong definition. I really hate the Term "Climate Change" just as I hated "Global Warming". A great deal of people think that Climate Change = Warming. When in reality, Climate is made up of all piece of weather (heating, cooling, pressure, wind, storm events, etc). Is the Climate Changing? Seems to be, but not in the way it is made to sound.

4) If the Climate is changing (and I think it is) it has done this before MANY MANY MANY times prior to Man being on the Earth. Why do Scientists of all people seem to ignore this Science for another? Seems very narrow minded to me and lacks Completeness when talking about an important Subject. Scientists, Politicians, the Media all leave Geology and in particular Earth History, as an after thought.

I have two questions for this argument:

Since when? Has the change started?
and
How much? Is Man Contributing ?

I did enjoy the article (in the irony that it was). The Author misinterpreted the research. Insulation (from the sun) does not mean Insulation (from the earth) is not happening. I would like to know which has the higher Heat total? The external heat that we are insulated from, or the internal heat that we are trapping? Now that is research I would love to see.

The climate is dynamic, its always changing.  It was that way before we existed and will continue to be that way in the future.  Humans didn't really have an impact on the climate until the industrial revolution, and our growth as a civilization since.

How much are we contributing to climate change?  Thats a good question.  The majority of scientists agree that we are having an influence and that its significant.  The research is being done and we are constantly learning more.
