The warming trend is not caused by mankind, and I like it.

Au contrare! The current warming trend IS caused by Man, or at least by certain men.

The current decreases in global temperatures, OTOH, are entirely natural.

Warming trend = lines on a graph, composed from messaged data, and drawn by agenda driven men; decreased temperatures = data points measured & recorded by instruments.

IMO, their contentions that it's caused by people is in their minds. We can agree on that.

But I'm biased toward wanting to believe that temps. are going up for two reasons.

* I want desperate refugees to crawl up onto the Rockies and buy places that I'll build, every bit as much as southeastern real estate folks want everyone to stay in those infernal places. ;-)

* I want to bask in the sun on a beach around the Arctic Circle.
