“Sadly, there is a 100 year upward trend in global temperatures. Even during the plateau from 1945 to 1976 the seas continued rising and the glaciers continued retreating.”
Who said it was definitive? Only global warming alarmists say their findings are definitive. What we skeptics say is that NOTHING is definitive. No consensus. And that this is just one more piece of news that throws the “CO2 causes global warming” theory into doubt. This NASA news bolsters further proof that rising CO2 levels do not drive climate change.

I thought the tone sounded like they were overstating the importance of a newspaper’s conclusion.
Clearly there are other factors besides CO2 and I don’t think its been proven that CO2 is the largest current cause.
But historically, it does appear that once something starts the temperature upward, the CO2 tends to increase and add to the temperature rise.
