Humanity's Contribution To "Global Warming"

jellisky writes: "In a recent climate modeling experiment, researchers have attempted to calculate the effect humanity has had on our climate. The results and article suggest that humanity is mainly to blame for a few recent warming periods, but also suggests that there are many other effects that might be just as important at times, including an oceanic oscillation and a mysterious "residual effect". Anyone else curious about this "residual effect"? How much trust should we put into these models when people cannot classify what's happening in them? Most importantly, though, what have we learned?"

    My perosonal opinion is that Global Warming is a scam by "green" conmen ("greenpeace" comes to mind here) so they don't need to get real jobs, and can screw high school girls

    Thank you! I agree with everything else you said in your post, and there *is* a lot of evidence that global warming *is* occurring, and there's even *more* evidence that it's just part of a natural weather cycle that we haven't been keeping records long enough to have observed very well. Of course, predictably, the media fails to acknowledge that evidence for the most part.

    The line I quoted from your post, however, made me stand up and clap.

    Thank you.
