Oh, I agree. Much in the same way that it's just a "big coincidence" that the Earth started getting hotter after the Industrial Revolution, it's just a "big coincidence" that all of the other planets are heating up right now too!

It's all just a big fat amalgam of coincidences!

huh?

The global temp has gone up 0.6°C since the 19th century.

Yes the last 25 years have seen the most change, but that also when the most pollutants have been pumped into the atmosphere.

No, but it is activist work. Politicians were in charge of the editing and organization of that report. So it is open to criticism even though a previous poster suggested it was not. That is my only point.

So it should, but this idea attitude that it is invalid is what worries me, specifically when it appears to be driven by those concerned with the consequences of policy change

OK, I can agree on that.
