The Sun is the #1 cause of global changes in temps. It goes thru cycles, that usually cover decades to even centuries. Now, it is true that a TINY % of planet temps can be affected, temporarily, by extreme changes in the atmosphere. Super volcanos can spew enough crud into the atmosphere to affect surface temps....but only for a relatively short period of time. Man's role? Less than 1/10th of 1/10th of 1% effects on global temps.
I'm perfectly okay with saying the earth is going through a period of warming that has been larger than the last 50 years, but has leveled off in the last decade. What cannot be satisfactorily demonstrated to me is 1) whether this warming is due to human actions, 2) whether human actions can affect the temperature *now* (carbon emission standards, etc), and 3) whether the warming is even a problem.
Bill Nye's faked experiments and Tyson's incendiary rhetoric do not move me, as I need proof, not windbaggery.
Again, the earth is suppose to warm and then cool; and then warm and then cool. It's how God designed it per other global and astrological creations He put in place. And it has been this way, per the rock record, since the beginning of time. It's man's ego that thinks he can change something that God hung in space as well as actions and reactions He put in place. And I personally think God is laughing and having some fun with all of those Washington DC and northeast yankee GW liberals with these ice and snow storms as well as 120 year old cold temp records. He is saying, "Oh really!! Watch this!"
DC: 120-year-old cold record broken...
5-story 'ice volcano' forms at NY geyser...
NEW ARTIC BLAST NEXT WEEK...
Well of course.
Great Lakes most ice since recorded time...
And God is saying "Oh really? Watch this!" to DC and Obama per their stupid GW stance but more importantly Obama's terrible anti Israel and anti Christian stance and his pro-Islamic stance by ignoring the real problem.
DC hasn't seen this since 1885 -- or ever?!

Those on the left: : OH NO! THE glaciers! We must stop them from melting! Bad humans! Bad!!!
Those on the right: So, why aren't we collecting the water? California and several other states could be using it. Why are we letting it waste into the ocean?
This is a good portion of the problem. Many probably think being GW friendly and PC makes them spiritual. And it has become their religion as stated in this thread numerous times. This guy at least admits it.
Outgoing UN IPCC Chief reveals global warming ‘is my religion and my dharma’
IPCC Chair Pachauri forced out at UN climate panel after sexual harassment complaint
Pachauri's resignation letter on religion: 'For me the protection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our ecosystems is more than a mission. It is my religion and my dharma.'
