either way, all we can do is look backwards and try to guess what's in front of us.

Based on the outside (500 yrs) of your own "probability" you can't even establish that warming is a trend today.

Don't get me wrong ..... again .... I agree that the planet has been undergoing a warming cycle.

I suppose I'll be dead and gone long before being proven correct that the trend is curving to the cooling side .... through no act of humanity.

My complaint is that the cycle isn't anything but totally natural. History proves this.

BTW, you've been saying that mankind's 3-4% emissions contribution has had a significant effect on the increase of warming globally since the industrial revolution 100 years ago.
Based on your own estimate of 300-500 years in order to prove a trend, I believe you have just revealed your poker hand theology.

Not to mention, accurate sattelite temperature measurements aren't even a decade or two old, further complicating your theory of manmade warming on a global scale.

You folks not only want it both ways, you want it every which way.

au contraire, mon ami. The hockey stick graph clearly shows the increasing level of co2 emissions coordinate nicely with the advent of industrialism. You are talking about geological change times versus the influx of anthropogenic co2. Apples and buicks; they don't match.

good try, though.

But you, yourself, wrote that it takes 300-500 years to make a trend.

HA!

I'm talking about the anthropogenic effect, which can indeed be sudden; you are talking about a natural trend, which is NOT sudden.

Get it? Anthropogenic vs natural.

Science study by MIT contradicts global warming theory.

A simultaneous world wide increase in methane was observed in 2007. This contradicts theories stating man is responsible for increases as it takes a year for gases from industrial north to reach southern hemisphere.

Well, this won't be the first time, nor the last time MIT scientists have been baffled before they figure it out!
