Don,

I appreciate the facts and figures. The problem I see is this: scientific papers "suggest" that there "may" be a man-made aspect to global warming. Those with an agenda latch on to these studies as "proof" of their claims and kindle wild fires of fear to get the gullible to go along with their agenda.

How do these studies explain (or do they even attempt it?) the apparent warm period back in the 1200's or so when the Vikings were settling Iceland and Greenland? We weren't burning fossil fuels then. Perhaps there is yet another reason for the cycles we observe here on earth? I don't know, maybe something to do with variations in the output of the sun?
