The science hasn't changed significantly in the last 6 months and
99% of scientists working in the field still dissagree with you.

You mean some of them disagree even
though they get all their cash by agreeing?

I see,

No you don't.

we're back to it's a world wide conspiracy.

Nope, just common sense. When the job involves
trying to decide what the effect of man is on world
temps, its hardly very surprising that those who believe
that got the job over other applicants who didn't.

Same with priests that believe there is a god too.
Hardly surprising that not very many atheists apply
for the job and even fewer get that job even when
there is a shortage of applicants for the job.

They could get more money out of the Koch brothers or BP

But those who already believe that man is the
problem are unlikely to apply for those jobs.

although, as on the case of the Berkley Earth Surface Temperature
project, that doesn't always turn out well for the deniers.

That doesn't show that the cause is man.

That's not what they concluded.

Doesn't matter what they concluded, what matters is
what evidence they could find that supports the claim
that human activity is a significant contributor to the
changes in temperature that we have seen.

When the undoubted massive increase in atmospheric
CO2 levels has actually seen a reduction in temperatures
at times, it must be a lot more complicated than is claimed.

Human Effect

Many of the changes in land-surface temperature can be explained by
a combination of volcanoes and a proxy for human greenhouse gas
emissions. Solar variation does not seem to impact the temperature trend.

It is clearly the reason for the ice ages.

After accounting for volcanic and human effects,

Pity they don't say how they do that last.

the residual variability in land-surface temperature is observed to
closely
mirror (and for slower changes slightly lead) variations in the Gulf
Stream.

Doesn't explain the variation in temperature nowhere near the Gulf Stream.

Its just more waffle.
