The question involves bigger factors than what science as we know it can possibly scrutinize. We do have excellent reason to believe that other factors can greatly drown out anthropogenic factors.

As long as an individual is intent on making their own determination, all is well.

Its when there is a blind trust in the "scientific community" that things go south. A few hours with the available non-processed and non-"normalized" datasets is all that is needed to determine there is insufficient data to support the hypothesis that humans are affecting a change in mean global temps.

The earlier line of scientific thought that acknowledged the power of chaos (the butterfly that causes the tornado) was much saner. We really can’t know. Other than doing obviously bad things to the earth (like polluting it so much that we’re obviously wallowing in it to our own ill health) we can’t predict.

One can finger the scam as a scam without deeming the question to be soluble by human methods.

Maybe Trump had her say that to weed them out.
Is he that dastardly?

Re: 10

I thought her response to the query put forth by the Texas Observer reporter was fairly mild and sane:

On climate change, she said that there is “still a lot of ongoing science” and that the “climate has been changing since the dawn of time, well before humans ever inhabited the Earth.”
“I think it’s possible that humans have some type of impact on climate change,” she said. “I just don’t know the extent of that.”

I think it is possible that I could change the pH of the ocean by spitting into it, I just don't know the extent of the change (e.g., would the change be the number 1 preceded by a gazillion zeroes and a decimal place, or would the number of zeroes be a googleplex cubed ... or some similar number - approaching zero. I just don't know the extent of this possibility).
It seemed like a fair PC reply - without smacking the reporter on the side of the head and telling them to stop asking stupid questions.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Why is Trump hiring a George P. Bush “Republican”?

“I think it’s possible that humans have some type of impact on climate change,” she said. “I just don’t know the extent of that.”

Minimally if at all and locally, not worldwide. Example: LA smog is not found in NYC, Brussels or Brisbane. Beijing pollution is not found in Dusseldorf, Greensboro or Murmansk.

LA smog is weather

Measurable change in the average temperature over 100 years is climate change.

Determining the operative force producing a change to be man will be difficult. We have no human reason for the desertification of North Africa. We have no manmade causation for the desertification of Uzbekistan and kazakhstan that once had very large human cities and populations.

What we have is liars, cheaters and swindlers and great unwashed masses of ignorant and gullible people
