BARTON: I believe that Earth’s climate is changing, but I think it’s changing for natural variation reasons. And I think man-kind has been adopting, or adapting, to climate as long as man has walked the Earth. When it rains we find shelter. When it’s hot, we get shade. When it’s cold, we find a warm place to stay. Adaptation is the practical, affordable, utterly natural reflex response to nature when the planet is heating or cooling, as it always is.

Esta, as the glaciers melt in the Swiss Alps, we find the hidden cities that had been buried by the ice. So, when those towns were there, the earth was warmer than now.
What percentage of the currnent warming is due to us and how do you know who to believe?

Roy C: there are no burried cities in the Swiss glaciers... living here I would be the first to know about it.
Now get real and put on 1,000,000 years time axis two points: the industrial revolution and scale up of mass production and a sudden warming for which all possible natural causes have been proven wrong... simple coincidence that the two points are almost one and the same?
I know who to believe as I know some atmospheric scientists. Get real and take a subscription to scientific journals if you doubt it.
If you can not afford it, just read the review of the peer reviewed papers and the numeric analysis performed by Naomi Oreskes. No paper disproving the anthropogenic global warming has passed the peer-review test.
Conservative media are not valid sources of scientific information.
