Who are these people (I refuse to call them "scientists") trying to fool?
This is exactly like saying some people are looking for evidence anywhere that wet and dry seasons occur on earth; or that there have always been periods of darkness and light.Among people with half a brain, global climate change is neither new nor controversial.
What's the "news"?

"The magnitude of warmth over the past 100 years seems pretty exceptional in the context of the past 1,000 years," he said. I thought they were studying 10 K years?
"Whereas maybe an average of all of the instrument data from the globe shows just a half a degree increase in this century, in the Arctic, temperatures went up by two to three degrees in the same period."
I think the "Gulfstream is dying" folks said the poles always swing in average temp more widely than the equator during periods of climate change.
