The name was changed to "climate change" so as to cover ALL changes; THEN government started to blame "man" in order to scare people so as to get more control of the people, AND to justify all the taxes, regulations, expenditures, etc. that OTHERWISE would NOT be acceptable TO the people.

And the Sheeple just nod their heads and play follow the leader.

Hi Edward, I would say not. The warmers have a track record of getting it wrong, deception, and down right lies and how any honest person can be taken in by it is hard to believe. How many predictions of disaster that do not come about does it take before honest men smell a rat? Every time they make a prediction of disaster the climate takes off in the opposite direction. The climate deity is laughing his socks off at them and they don't see it.

Given you start taking about weather rather than climate you have pretty much shoot yourself in the foot coming out of the gate. many things in 'weather' do change but look at the longer picture and at a more global scale and that is the climate.

Deniers like to waffle on about endless political agendas and conspiracies I guess you have given you have no real scientific support for your nonsense.

A look at a 120 year slice of temperature data shows many things includes some of the 'cycles' you allude to but it also shows a steady rise in temperature that has no other explanation than Co2.

Science has shown beyond doubt we are the cause of that extra Co2 and that Co2 is solidly linked to past natural temperature rises, just as drops in Co2 are linked to much cooler periods.

A common catch cry from deniers is where did the Co2 in the past come from, usually associated with some lame joke about cavemen and hummers. Of course these same deniers, among many excuses for the current rise in Co2 blame volcanoes, yet seem unable to grasp that past volcanic activity dwarfs anything we have seen since we have been on this planet.

An event like the Siberian Traps easily could put more Co2 into the atmosphere then we have but that event is also linked to one of the larger extinction and climate changes in Earth history.

This is an eruption on a scale we can't real compare to anything we have ever seen, it would have first caused an iceage lasting perhaps a thousand years and then as particulates washed out of the atmosphere and ice started to retreat the Co2 released would have warmed the planet up for hundreds of thousands of years.

The science on AGW is quite solid for all deniers back slapping and conspiracy creation they have not (in almost 2 decades) come up with any credible counter theory nor any real evidence that disputes the science, regardless of what they may pretend in their own blogs.

That's a rant. Also, agree about which part? You make a statement and then ask for agreement. I don't think this is the forum for that. Reaffirmation questions are probably against Y!A policy.

"It changes, it follows cycles, is there 'climate change'? Of course there is..."

The question goes on to answer itself in many other ways.

Very man made and very now Although CO2 is not the greatest of greenhouse gases, as CO2 has risen in the last few decades, so has the world's temperature average.Below is a fairly good look at climate change
