before i respond to the Muller article. FYI look at my recent post on Epic, regarding water vapor and other stuff.

regarding Muller, who did the Best study.
I have no idea how he proved human activity is the cause of global warming.
we do know that we have 1 in 20,000 extra parts of CO2 in the air. 350 to 400 ppm. an increase of 50/1,000,000, so instead of 3.5 parts per 10,000 we now have 4 parts per 10,000.
and just looking at that. the warming from 1880 to 1940 was about .4C, and IPCC et al don't blame it on man. how could they, our CO2 output was miniscule. and from 1940 to 1975, when CO2 levels were increasing exponentially, there was No Warming.

Then from 1975 to 1998 there was another .4-.7C of warming, depending on who you look at. satellites say .4C, NASA says .7C
from 1998 there has been no warming although CO2 increased another 30% over 2000. "they" say that's from "natural variability". that They didn't expect.
back to muller.
click on his 2 page summary report here

IPCC is blaming .7C of warming, a little over 1F since 1956, and by glancing through that article I can't find where Muller contradicts that. he just says it isn't the sun.
Only Alarmists DENY Global Warming & Climate Change. Us regular people with regular brains know that there has also been Climate Change.
Just read Brian Fagan books on The Little Ice Age, Medievil Warming & Nino's - and writes he believes in man-made global warming. Read his meticulously researched books for cheap.
In that Times article Muller is quoted, "I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.”
of course it is real! and yes the estimates of warming are real, but how he gets humans are entirely the cause i have no idea!!!!!!!!
There is very little doubt that "earths" temperature, although it is very difficult to measure is probably higher than it was since the MediEvil warming about 1600. That was only 500 years ago, a blink in the time of this planet. Of course the Alarmist just DENY the ME Warming and say it was a localized European event, because the historical evidence is so sound there. But then look at all the papers found on this web site.
this whole thing is like listening to experts about the stock market. we all lived through the tech bubble and then the real estate bubble and plenty of very smart, educated people including our gov't officials saw no problem, but they were bubbles and plenty of very smart people lost a ton of money. people with high education and the very best of computers. they were completely wrong
I was thinking of the Ice Age and how sea levels rose 350 feet when the ice melted, so i went to Wikipedia Ice Age page. Scientists have no idea what caused those extremely dramatic climate changes. What if whatever causes those ice ages to come and go is no operating at 1% of it potential strength, like the earths or the planets oscillations, or the oceans. Who Knows? NO ONE that's how.
And to show you "this is the situation we know find ourselves in" - the Wiki page on Ice Ages is full of Global Warming CO2 drivel when certainly the Ice Ages have nothing to do with man made global warming. And if CO2 is a cause of ice ages coming and going, it certainly just shows that maybe what was driving the CO2, out or in of the oceans, is what is driving our climate now, at a miniscule level.
So there is very little doubt that "earths" temperature, although it is very difficult to measure is probably higher than it was since the MediEvil warming about 1600. That was only 500 years ago, a blink in the time of this planet. The Warmers say the ME period was a regional Euro only event, because they can't deny the historical evidence, but even that they hardly mention. But these guys have papers showing it was global.

Read Fagan's Little Ice Age and about how the Europeans glaciers advanced at incredible amounts, i forget it might have even been a hundred yards a day, wiping out villages that had been there for centuries, was that caused by a lack of CO2.
There are just so many holes in this entire narrative. But I have been fascinated with this issue for many years, because of the insight it gives into human nature and politics of life. We are all brainwashed in one way or another.
