:-D
Oh, my goodness. Look at that post. "Depends on the meaning of 'as'". You're just funnin me by using the most famous 'hair splitting' words in recent history, aren't you? You wouldn't accidentally say something so close to the Clinton response, I can't believe.
Well thanks for the giggle! The original question was relating to a simple statement of fact, very straightforward and direct. "Warming now, happened before."
You answered with an opinion, "I believe this warming is probably caused by something different."
You didn't answer the original question, probably because you knew that to answer honestly "yes, it has been warmer in the past", would be damaging to your pre-conceived agenda.
Y2K all over again.
You answered with an opinion, "I believe this warming is probably caused by something different."
It's not an opinion. Even discounting evidence of the prevailing cause for, the evidence against causality by the prior primary climate processes is comprehensive.
I.e., the Earth is not warming up as it has in the past (no matter what the meaning of "as"). The factors contributing to it and the climactic response to both rate and forcings are different.
Glad to hear I could amuse you.
