That's totally irrelevant to the human caused global warming on earth.

the warming and cooling is all natural...to say its 'human caused' is not an accurate statement

the earth in it's 4 billion years has had like 2 dozen warming and cooling cycles..the last ice age peaked around 16000-18000 years ago and we have been warming since...its not a steady warming, there are decades were it levels off, or even cools slightly, but we have been warming for the last 16000 years

each inter-glacial period, has brought the GLOBAL average temperature to the low-mid 70's F....currently we are around 59'f for a global average, and slightly behind the pervious cycles.

only people who deny history and science , are the ones calling it man made.

What makes one a climate scientist?

Let me give you an example. I determine a good engineer because they consistently build bridges that don't collapse. Know any climatologists that have saved planets from global warming? So I have to judge by some sort of arbitrary authority that usually replicates itself. When the only good climatologist are the ones that agree with the others , its easy to get to 97%. I see the exact same thing with economics. There I am in the know and disagree with I'd say most of them. my results were avoiding the stock market and housing bubbles and predicting stagflation etc.....

I say this as an insult to myself. I don't know how to test a good climate scientist. I also know other things like priests historically frightening the populace with knowing when an eclipse would happen to gain power. . That is proof of your lack of resources. I notice people concerned about the environment do absolutely nothing to solve their biggest problem. They keep trying to convince people its happening. However they do nothing to deal with the fear people have of granting sweeping powers to people who solve a problem they themselves define. Why don't you work on that problem before coming up with more proof because that is a major problem.

I'd say in fact that I am that very person. I think there is a risk . However I know there is a risk in granting more government power to people who are perfectly willing to simply take that power and do no good at all while making themselves gods.

the earth is cooling I know this is true because Rush Limbaugh just said so on the radio Monday and he is an expert climatologist form Harvard.
