I believe that we are experienciing some sort of climate change, I don't know if it will be long term or not. I do know that it has been a long time since we have had the high temps we are having now. Photo0144.jpg I don't believe that man is causing it I think it is something that the earth goes through.

Could have said the same thing in 1937...

It is you whom has shown no evidence. I am confident after all this since none has been brought forward there is none. Funny how you assume I must submit to you my evidence that man is not causing climate change. The arrogance of that is staggering. Observations of climate in defined areas is not proof of anything and light years from identifying a cause and pin pointing man as that cause. Science is not even in agreement if climate is warming or cooling. The infinitesimal amounts of materials being emitted by man when compared to the whole would lead a reasonable person with no agenda to come to the conclusions that man couldn't effect climate even if it became our goal.

Let's see... The Union of Concerned Scientists, the Continent of Australia and 84% of the worlds scientists who have been collecting data and studying CC for years think it is happening but you who has no formal scientific education think it's a lie.

What's wrong with this picture?

Think what's happening? Again collecting data and studying something is no proof of anything. Formal scientific education is not relevant. There is no proof of man made global warming or anyother man made weather phenomenon. It's hard hitting but you have nothing, except some data and observations from people that lie and alter data and got caught. Not much to go on, it's a hoax and you got stung.

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/306/5702/1686.full]The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change

The scientific consensus is clearly expressed in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Created in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Programme, IPCC's purpose is to evaluate the state of climate science as a basis for informed policy action, primarily on the basis of peer-reviewed and published scientific literature (3). In its most recent assessment, IPCC states unequivocally that the consensus of scientific opinion is that Earth's climate is being affected by human activities: 滴uman activities are modifying the concentration of atmospheric constituents that absorb or scatter radiant energy. [M]ost of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations [p. 21 in (4)].

Others agree. The American Meteorological Society (6), the American Geophysical Union (7), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) all have issued statements in recent years concluding that the evidence for human modification of climate is compelling (8).

The 928 papers were divided into six categories: explicit endorsement of the consensus position, evaluation of impacts, mitigation proposals, methods, paleoclimate analysis, and rejection of the consensus position. Of all the papers, 75% fell into the first three categories, either explicitly or implicitly accepting the consensus view; 25% dealt with methods or paleoclimate, taking no position on current anthropogenic climate change. Remarkably, none of the papers disagreed with the consensus position.

Sea level rise
Global sea level rose about 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) in the last century. The rate in the last decade, however, is nearly double that of the last century.4

Global temperature rise
All three major global surface temperature reconstructions show that Earth has warmed since 1880. 5 Most of this warming has occurred since the 1970s, with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years. 6 Even though the 2000s witnessed a solar output decline resulting in an unusually deep solar minimum in 2007-2009, surface temperatures continue to increase. 7

Warming oceans
The oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of 0.302 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969.8

Shrinking ice sheets
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost 150 to 250 cubic kilometers (36 to 60 cubic miles) of ice per year between 2002 and 2006, while Antarctica lost about 152 cubic kilometers (36 cubic miles) of ice between 2002 and 2005.

Declining Arctic sea ice
Both the extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice has declined rapidly over the last several decades. 9

Glacial retreat
Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world — including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.10

Extreme events
The number of record high temperature events in the United States has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing, since 1950. The U.S. has also witnessed increasing numbers of intense rainfall events.11

Ocean acidification
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30 percent.12,13 This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the oceans. The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the upper layer of the oceans is increasing by about 2 billion tons per year.14,15

To paraphrase

And it's one, two, three,
What are we worrying for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a darn,
It's going to be warm;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

/edit - note Vietnam era Volunteer Vet, and proud of it.

And that is proof? If scientist want to claim man is causing then they need to prove it. The fact that they have not means something.
