The Sun has for more to do with the temps on this planet than anything else possibly could. That should be pretty obvious.

The rest is just a political diversion, and an excuse to charge taxes, and use political devices such as "carbon credits".

IIRC, we have about 2-3 more years of warm, and then it starts a very long trend down again. Don't bother waking Mr. Gore, just pull the blanket up a couple inches for him.
Thank christ someone else gets it

Sounds like you jump to conclusions. Where did I say that humans were responsible for global warming? I was merely making fun of the idiots who spout lines like "so much for global warming" just because their neck of the woods is having a cold winter. It's kind of like looking at the Dow Jones on a graph -- you can see several periods of growth that lasted several years, yet within those periods it constantly spikes up and down.

The "so much for global warming" style of joke is often used to try and convince gullible people that the globe isn't actually warming......even though it is.

As for whether humans are at least partly responsible for accelerating the current warming cycle, the verdict isn't in yet.......but I'm more inclined to believe in what scientists determine, rather than motorcycle riders who just pick whatever internet link they already agree with, and are motivated by protecting their wallet or their motorsport hobbies.
