Everyone agrees that the climate changes. No one disputes that. Climate change has been happening ever since the earth has had an atmosphere. The dispute is over the cause for this particular warming. Based on the data, we should be in a cooling phase but we're not. Research done by climate scientists points to mankind's use of fossil fuels as the primary cause to which you and other deniers well...deny.

Nice, when the ice sheets collapse and the ice age begins we won't have anything to worry about.

The last IPCC report I saw said that humans were causing between 40 and 90%. That's a pretty big range. What if it's less than half?

And the IPCC didn't count on collapse of ice sheets in their sea level rise predictions. It looks like they are starting to go. Jachobshovn is still retreating as of January. Scary stuff.

I once asked for a list of the species that did not alter their environment.

Were humans responsible 100,000 years ago when the Earth was much warmer?

You are demonstrating that you know nothing about climate science with questions like that....To begin with it is much warmer today than it was 100,000 years ago when the earth was still locked in an ice age.....

Try educating yourself.... Climate Timeline Tool: Summary of 100,000 Years

So you are finally admitting that human activity is affecting the climate. Nice!

No they weren't. They lacked the technology that we have today which affects the climate. Why are you asking such a silly question? The earth would be in a cooling trend now if it weren't for our dumping of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Haven't you been paying attention to the conversation?
