The problem is that nobody is looking at possible factors of global warming like the sun... or the changes in the carbon sink system. In otherwords nobody is looking for an actual solution. |
Wrong. Everybody is looking at alternative sources of global warming. Thee have been numerous independent studies of the effects of solar cycles on the climate, for example, and none of them yield numbers large enough to account for the recent warming. A lot of alternative ideas have been proposed, investigated, reported on and dismissed - often several times. Yes, all of these alternative effects added togethermay account for the warming, but the simplest hypothesis, which can account for all of the warming seen, is greenhouse gas concentrations. Greenhouse gas concentrations have also been found to account for the majority of historical climate shifts. I think the anti-global-warming camp is looking desperately for more and more 'alternative' hypotheses to a) waste climate scientists' research money - after all, every idea is considered - so it isn't spent on looking for ways to fix the problem, and b) justify their belief that it's not our fault so they can keep profiting from the status quo.
