The fact is that there has been warming. That is pretty much settled.

The issue is not warming but if the warming trend is manmade and related to manmade carbon dioxide emissions

I’ll believe that when I see estimates of uncertainty attached to the warming data. Forgive me if you already know about this...

Every measurement has an estimate of uncertainty (a +/- value). Such values aren’t guesses. They can be calculated.

But you never see these values when it comes to climate change data. I suspect that’s because they would make the data meaningless. For example, we are told something like the earth’s oceans have gotten 0.1 degree Celsius warmer. The estimate of uncertainty there might be +/- 0.2 degrees. That’s greater than the actual change itself. Therefore, the original measurement is meaningless.

Sorry for being a bit long-winded here. I’m not saying warming isn’t happening. I just want to see better evidence of it.
