LONDON (March 5) -- Climate scientists have hit back at skeptics with the publication of a new paper that says the case for man-made global warming is now "stronger than ever."
An international team of scientists led by Britain's Met Office -- the country's national weather service -- has spent the past year reviewing 110 studies published since 2007 that tracked changes in the earth's climate. Their paper, published in the journal Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, concluded that the possibility the world is warming because of natural variations in climate (such as increased volcanic or solar activity) is "increasingly remote." Instead, they firmly pin the blame on man's burning of fossil fuels.

No need for more proof, actually. We all know it's happening and Obama is on the richt track. Although I think he could do more. But he will do much more, eventually. It just needs some more time.

Here is some talk of warming from one of our founders who was sure that there was a good deal of global warming in the early 19th century. He had no real proof only the facts as he had observed them. Is there a chance that these "scientists" would be willing to use this story written long before the auto was invented and all the other uses of fossil fuel other than coal for heating buildings? I'll bet he is the same kind of scientist that most of our present day warmers are.
. Thomas Jefferson Noted Global Warming
Climate change crusaders insist that the earth is warming largely due to the emission of greenhouse gases by motor vehicles and factories.
But Thomas Jefferson wrote about global warming back in the early 19th century, before there were any emissions from cars, coal-fired power plants, and other developments of the Industrial Age.
In a letter to Philadelphia physician and professor Nathaniel Chapman dated Dec. 11, 1809, nine months after he left the presidency, Jefferson wrote: “The change which has taken place in our climate is one of those facts which all men of years are sensible of and yet none can prove by regular evidence. They can only appeal to each other’s general observation for the fact.
“I remember that when I was a small boy, say sixty years ago, snows were frequent and deep in every winter, to my knee very often, to my waist sometimes, and that they covered the earth long. And I remember while yet young to have heard from very old men that in their youth the winters had been still colder, with deeper and longer snows. In the year 1772, thirty-seven years ago, we had a snow two feet deep in the Champain parts of this state, and three feet in the counties next below the mountains . . .
“While I lived at Washington, I kept a Diary, and by recurring to that I observe that from the winter of 1802-03 to that of 1808-09 inclusive, the average fall of snow of the seven winters was only 14½ inches, and that the ground was covered but sixteen days in each winter on average of the whole. The maximum in any one winter during that period was 21 inches fall, and 34 days on the ground, the minimum was 4½ inches fall and two days on the ground . . .
Global warming or climate change has become so politicizied I don't know how anyone can take any scientific study seriously anymore.
Any study coming out now,I simply do not look at seriously.
Really people, what do we believe.We can all say this and that but 99% of us really have no idea what is going on.
The joke is on us.
My thinking on this is that global warming is the result of soot release in england before and at the start of the industreal revolotion. Soo is dark snow is white paint the snow black and watch it melt fast. What is driving glodal worming is the change in albedo from the soot release cerca 1650 in england.

Interesting that they "concluded" that while the rest of the world "concluded" that hiding the decline is unnecessary unless it's politically driven junk science.
Question did they paper use as its base the bad data from where ever it was that was cooking the numbers to make it look like it was getting warmer?
Out of tens of thousands of researchers who have published thousands of studies, you right-wing nutters can only cite one incident where global warming research was muddied by unethical conduct, and you see no other evidence as valid.
As long as you keep using the same weak talking points, you continue to demonstrate that there is no evidence to support your claims and you strengthen the case for AGW.
Every academic discipline suffers from cases of individual researchers cooking the books in order to boost their reputation. Such unethical individuals are the exception, not the norm, but they are an ink stain on the otherwise trustworthy peer-review process by which scientific knowledge advances.
There is one other road block to scientific progress, and that shows up in the form of egocentric recalcitrance on the part of older researchers who are bothered by new evidence that challenges their prior findings. Even Einstein suffered from a bit of this, as demonstrated by his resistance to quantum theory.
With respect to global warming, most of the scientific resistance to the theory has come from old-school scientists whose personal reputations are at stake. They're becoming extinct as more and more of them accept the overwhelming evidence for the theory.
Meanwhile, back at Fox News, ostriches continue to find "evidence" against the theory buried deep in the sands of ignorance and political posturing in favor of oil, coal, and natural gas companies...
