Global temperatures since 1950

[Angrboda]

I believe the currently popular term is "anthropocentric globabl warming" which places the emphasis on global changes caused by human activity. It's important to specify anthropocentric change because there are factors involved in climate change that have nothing to do with human activity, and there are natural trends which may run counter to AGW trends, thus obscuring the existence of AGW. I attended a talk on AGW, and if I recall correctly, only about half of the change in global temperature is attributable to man-made causes, so you really need to separate out the human causes from the natural ones.

As to people changing the terminology, or there being some fraud found in the work of AGW scientists, I don't see how that is anything but an ad hominem attack: some AGW science is bad, therefore all of it is suspect. It's a non sequitur.
