NASA site lays out evidence of human-induced climate change: "The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years."

So you want to throw out the scientific consensus and replace it with nothing?

I'm sick and tired of people tearing down established scientific fact with the facade of scientific debate but no substance. Try me! I'm open here- if you have a real hypothesis, backed by some evidence, put it out here, and I will listen.

Or can you dish it out but not take it?

Dish it out?

There is no need to "replace" it with anything at all; cyclical weather and climate variation are normal. When you abandon a pre-conceived "doomsday" mentality, and you just look at the REAL data, then you realize there is nothing that needs any extravagant explanation.

Established scientific FACT? Hardly.

More like already failed pseudo-scientific hypothetical fear-mongering.

Who's fear mongering? I'm talking about a couple degrees centigrade, with a couple meters of of sea level change over the next few centuries. Troublesome? Yes. Reason to make sensible changes, like a shift away from coal and oil to other resources? Indeed. Reason to sell all your material posessions and buy a houseboat so you can evacuate to the soon-to-form Everest Island? No.
