Yes, “seek the facts!” “The earth has warmed.” “Warming periods have occurred throughout recorded history.” “SUV’s” don’t drive “these ancient cycles.” All true, but there is one more relevant fact. Sure there have been cycles, but the earth’s temperature is now warmer than any other time in the last 400,000 years. We are beyond all previous maxima. “Analyses of over 400 proxy climate series (from trees, corals, ice cores and historical records) show that the 1990s is the warmest decade of the millennium…” The author’s conclusion that, since there have always been cycles, this must be part of a cycle, has no validity considering ALL of the facts.
True, “consensus is not science,” but the Global Warming consensus is driven by the science. While there have been inaccuracies and overstatements and inadequate models, there have also been adjustments and corrections. The science is very sound. That’s why there is consensus. It’s based on the facts. Seek them, and you will find!
