Please. Global warming is very much a proven fact by now. What's debatable is the effect of anthropic activites on its acceleration and how it will manifest itself on a global scale.

No duh? Anytime an ice age is over, our the earth is going to be in a warming stage. That being the case, most people who would look at the patterns would also see we are very near or at the peak (given that the pattern that has been going on...for a LONG time...continues), and will start dropping into an ice age soon (fortunately for us, these take a long time to actually get into)

So if you agree we're in a warming phase then what's the problem? lol

I believe we have been in a general warming stage for 1000's of years. I don't think we are in one now. The earth has pretty much maintained temperatures over the last 15 years (hence why climate change reports have been having such a hard time still convincing people...because they have now had to come up with reasons for why this is happening)

The thing about this that gets me the most is that people still believe we, humans, can't have an effect on the weather. While its true that, in general, we are like a mouse pushing a rock the size of a continent, we have some effect. What this amounts to is that we haven't as yet, but should have, entered into a new ice age.

It's inevitable that the earth will continue its cycle of ice age, warming period, ice age, warming period. But when and how those occurances play out can and will be effected by humans, if nothing else because we exceed the natural boundries that have come before.

Global warming is a misnomer of people who either don't understand what they are trying to push or what they are trying to defend. The true term should be Climmate Disruption.
