There doesn't seem to be any pressing reason to believe the temperature of the sun isn't mostly static. You've got the GW deniers but that's really about it.
cold as shit out, is all I know....
As there is no reason to belive that 450,000 years of history is not repeating itself..... For the fith time.
Cooling off here, so it will warm up, there.
On article forty years old does not equal a near unamious agreement amongst scientific experts.
Australia's now getting their second extreme heat wave of the year.

But hey, it was hotter forty million years ago, so who needs to care?
Wikipedia said:Melbourne summers are notable for occasional days of extreme heat. This occurs when the synoptic pattern is conducive to the transportation of very hot air from central Australia over to the south east corner of the continent. The inland deserts of Australia are amongst the hottest areas on earth, particularly the inland parts of north-west Australia. Every summer, intense heat builds starting in the Pilbara district of Western Australia around October/November and spreading widely over the tropical and subtropical inland parts of the continent by January. In the summer months, the southern part of the continent straddles the westerly wind belt to the south and the subtropical high pressure ridge to the north. The intense heat buildup occurs where high pressure is highly dominant in the upper levels of the atmosphere over the tropics and subtropics of Australia in summer allowing for a huge area of stable atmospheric conditions to predominate.
..."We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW,.....Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming."
Yeah, I'll take the research of 9,000 peer-reviewed scientists over the opinions of a few morons on a message board.
Your math is based on an erroneous interpretation of the numbers. That's not 66.4% of studies saying AGW it's inconclusive. That's 66.4% of studies not asking that question, and therefore irrelevant to the topic at hand. There are other things to study when it comes to climate change than that, you know...."We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW,.....Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming."
Margin of error?? Did you read the article?
So your article and my math (97.1% x 32.6%) show that 31.65% of published papers "endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming."
****Yawn****

Climate Denier Talking Point 11:When Retards Say "But but Time magazine in 1974 said..."
I am merely pointing out that this isn't the first time the media screams "the sky is falling."
And yes... color me a denier. Hate me all you want. LOL.
Wow, the concept of stewardship must be completely alien to you. I bet your mother still picks up your room.It's not about whether we care. It's about whether we should flagellate ourselves and wallow in guilt over being the cause of it.
"OMG! First we murdered the penguins and now we're slow-cooking the poor Aussies"
But the truth of the matter is, that Australia has - and always did have - some seriously hot places...
Stupid Humans.....
Humans have only existed for 50,000 years? For reals!!!!?????
Lets forget the fact that was my sarcastic point.
Let me explain the pretty colors and relevance for ya.
The chart shows a clear weather pattern of inter-glacial periods from the present period to the four preceding periods with the much longer glacial periods in between. All four past periods are seen to be warmer than today's period. These inter-glacial periods tend to last about 10k to 15K years before peaking out and sliding in to a glacial period. The current period has lasted 11.6K years. Shame none of us will be here for the next glacial period.
Whats even more interesting is each inter glacial period has peaked out with corresponding rises in Co2. The only thing different about this current period is that the CO2 spike is actually higher than the corresponding temperature spike. This is despite the fact that this period is 2 degrees colder than any other peak.
Except the fact that it doesn't appear to be.
I mean I guess you could make the argument that because this warming period is 2 degrees colder than historic warming periods so it doesn't "appear to be".
I mean if you hated science.
