I know you are only trying to provoke a response from you know who,
but I don't think GW sceptics even doubt that warming is taking place.

However the jury *is* still out with respect to the mechanisms behind
this, and there can be no proof either way until long after we have
all long been forgotten.

Just my humble opinion of course.

The jury is still out. You are absolutely right. I'm not fully
convinced myself of the mechanism behind the recent warming trend, but
the lack of demonstrable cooling during a solar minimum and with a La
Nina has strengthened my feeling that CO2 is probably responsible and
that GW is a reality that is most likley to continue.

PS Lol steve! There are many more capable sceptics than dear Lawrence
and all would struggle to counter that particular combination of
evidence, short of criticising the scientists, the recording
mechanisms, or citing conspiracy and collusion to bury the real data.
Last Boreal winter we were in a solar minimum, ENSO was in a La Nina
and there really ought to have been monthly global temperatures
recorded that were far lower than were actually recorded, if a warming
trend was no longer underpinning global temperatures. In not a single
month during the last 12, during the La Nina and the solar minimum,
have the global land + sea temperatures in the NOAA series been out of
the top 10 warmest for that month since 1880.
