Most if not all of you have got the science exactly backwards. It's not a matter of looking at climate records and trying to tease out the signal of global warming from all the natural variation. Instead, you start from basic science: CO2 blocks infrared, the amount of CO2 has increased due to human activity (and we can prove that the increase is due to fossil fuel burning in a lot of different ways, starting with the fact that it matches what's been burned). That says that the world WILL get warmer, though like a pan of water placed on a stove, the warming takes time. Simple, basic science, and pretty well undeniable.
