Yep, even skeptics agree that the world has been in a warming trend over the last 160 years, which is about the limit of the instrumental record in most places around the world. Problem is, 85% of mankinds CO2 contributions have happened in only the last 60 years, leaving 100 years of natural warming. All that is apparent is a natural trend continuing that existed before mankind could have possibly influenced events. In any case, CO2 is just one forcing among hundreds, and is easily eclipsed by H20. What's next, a ban on steam? Demonizing CO2, the giver of life, into pollution was the worst mistake the green movement has ever made.
I'm saddened that slashdot is so empty of a real scientific mindset. Since when was reproducing and verifying others experimentation anti-scientific instead of the very bedrock, the foundation of the scientific method?
