Big news from the UN: We’re 95% sure that human activity is the main driver of climate change

In fact, much like these 95 percent of scientists,

There seems to be an incorrect statement here. The article stipulates that a "panel" (of unspecified size) of scientists are 95% sure of something. This is nowhere near the same as "95% of scientists". The "panel" could have been 3 guys who are 95% sure.

“It is extremely likely that human influence on climate caused more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010,” the draft report says.

Was that draft report written by a delusional Jr. High-schooler?

A 59-year span of time is not climate; it is weather.
It is, in addition, highly suspicious as to the seemingly arbitrary, whimsical decision not to include 1950.

Two to three hundred years is the briefest time that science can presume to be analyzing "climate," in a discipline the deals with millennia or hundreds of millions of years of obvious cyclical behavior.

That pesky 5% remaining of course is reality.

We had a cold spring and a colder than average summer around my parts (western Wisconsin). We even set a few records for coldest “highs.” Bring on the global warming please.

I see you've met Diane Feinswein. That's her favorite line to constituents with an arbitrary, federally induced hardship complaint.

Also we’re 100 percent sure the UN is dangerous, a sham, and a huge waist of money.

They need M O N E Y.

If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
