Excellent!
The United Nations is sure that this research is incorrect. Who ya gonna trust? (heh heh)
your GW pinglist
The money line: "Importantly, if the current warming trend is, as the evidence suggests, part of an entirely natural climate cycle, actions proposed to prevent further warming would be futile and could, by imposing substantial costs upon the global economy, lessen the ability of people to adapt to the impacts — both positive and negative — of climate change."
Of course the so-called scientists who are pimping global warming hysteria are going to ignore this, esp. at the UN. After all, this is about taking America down a peg, nothing else. That's the goal of both the UN and the American left, who are behind all the hype.
But some more facts do help...
Bttt.
The only thing I regret is that it's quite possible that definitive evidence one way or another about what's causing our recent warming may not be found until Al Gore and his U.N. poobah buddies and the hysterical ninnies who fawn over them have already cooled off in their graves. It would be sweet to see all those guys and gals humiliated in the public square by some good old-fashioned scientific evidence before they shuffle off this mortal coil.
Burn off half of Earth's peat, oil, and gas supplies that have been sequestered over the past billion years. Burn it over a 100-year period, and see if Earth warms some.
Oh, wait: we already did that. :-\
Coldest weather in 4 years in MN this weekend......
IT'S A TREND!!!!

Less than 3% of the global energy reserves have been "burned" (and you forgot coal)
The oldest fossil fuels are from The Carboniferous Period occurred from about 360 to 286 million years ago. (not "a billion")
More energy is locked up in gas hydrate under the oceans than we have burned since man discovered fire.
And at any time prior to the age of man, up to 20% of the dry land was being consumed by massive forrest and grass fires - replenishing the CO2 for the rest of the world's plants to "breathe"
Science is rational, not emotional.
Damn chilly here in NY too. Thanks for reminding me.
(WC of -10 to -30 by monday)
That's all??

This would be lost on the IPCC of course since almost all of them are hired guns and scientifically illiterate government functionaries, while almost none of them are climatologists.
It has long since been debunked and explained by tectonic folding and injection, and especially glacial compression.
Amen, Brother.

I'm sure that industrialization has had some effect on climate, but climatic cycles are readily identifiable to anyone who can read tree rings and ice cores.
