I’d be wary of dismissing all global warming claims as pseudo science since the climate could well be entering a warming period. But the argument that it’s caused by mankind should be challenged since it’s apparent that global warming is being hijacked for political purposes. If nothing else it’s useful for keeping the environmental Left busy, which gives them less time for wreaking havoc elsewhere.
In the mid 70s Lowell Ponte wrote “The Cooling” based on the then current idea that we were on the cusp of a new Ice Age. So I’d say the polar bears only need to hold out for 30 years until the pendulum swings back.

And it may very well be caused by man. Warming is not an issue, as you have pointed out, but it is a matter of cause. The data points less towards anthropogenic climate change and more towards climatic cycles, regional phenomenon, and solar activity.
