It's not clear at all. Please produce the scientific studies to support your claim.

Almost 50% of the new utility-scale power generation capacity added during the first half of 2014 uses renewable energy sources. Solar-powered capacity grew about 1,150 megawatts (MW) during the first six months of 2014 compared with 690 MW added during the same period last year. The electricity industry has added 675 MW of wind capacity this year, which is more than double the amount added during the first half of 2013.

The earth heats and cools periodically.

Proven science.

The rest is theory.

I don't think you understand what "proven" and "theory" mean in the context of science.

Uh yes, that is very well known by everybody. Climate change happens naturally.

The climate change we're currently causing by altering atmospheric chemistry is a departure from natural cyclical variations. This is so basic I don't understand why it has to be explained.

The only definite true statement here is the last one. I'd go further to say it's near impossible to have any kind of debate with blind partisans such as yourselves who always think you're the smartest guys in the room.

So please, continue on with your insular circle-jerk amongst yourselves without me.

First of all heating and cooling is not periodical, secondly we don't have a clear understanding why there were dramatic changes in temperature.

The usual "it happened before so it will happen again", we can predict the rotation of the sun and the movement of the tides but we don't have any clear scientific evidence when it comes to climate change in the past.

Rather gigantic leap to indicate this is normal with no science to back it up.
