New report reinforces import of climate change.

Hey, global warming skeptics, take your heads out of the sand | csmonitor.com

Are you serious about this?

The contention is not that artic ice is growing, melting, or staying static. The contention is that the climate has a ton of natural variability. And global warming proponents postulate that carbon dioxide emissions are the cause of recent warming.

Color me unimpressed. They've created a hypothesis. Now, they have to predict future climate. I know of none, as in zero, falsifiable predictions of average temperatures that has been accurate.

I could have equally posted something akin to this: Hey global warming believers! Have you noticed how it has been unusually cool for about a year now? Get your collective head out of the sand.
