did not take this into account etc... And then you give me
that crap to read?
So you dont believe the Earth is in a warming period, therefore
it is impossible man could not have caused any warming because their is no
warming.
The above is your conclusion based on all the stuff you have read?
ALL the stuff, not just what you want to read.

The earth is always in a warming or cooling trend. That is not the dispute. The dispute is the effect of man on that warming or cooling. The author of that report comes to the conclusion that based on the data presented that humans account for a minuscule amount of the factors that may cause or accelerate global warming. Perhaps IF you read that you would understand that. The question that i have is that if effect of human activity and the much used "carbon" footprint is virtually nil then why are we spending so much time, money and energy on worrying about it? Science is making new discoveries and refuting old ones all the time. There is so much data with contrary findings that i tend to believe the less radical of the two arguments. That is that global warming is overstated and largely free of human interference.
