I have talked on occasion with Dr. Singer, he is a man of great personal character and is not seeking fame, only reason.

How does one explain the rise in CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere? That's a potential weakness in the hypothesis that humans aren't responsible for a bit of the warming of the earth.
Admittedly, most of the greenhouse gases emitted every year are from source other than humans. About 96 percent of the greeenhouse gases are from natural sources. But is it possible that the 4 percent that humans create are throwing off the equilibrium?
If humans are warming up the planet, my suggestions are:
1. Figure out if this is that big of a problem. Internal combustion engines have made life better for billions, so maybe an extra degree or two is worth the trouble.
2. If there is some number of degrees of global warming that will cause a net harm to humanity, figure out that level and how long it will take us to get there.
3. During that time interval, figure out ways to lower emissions while keeping our wonderful lifestyle going. If we could figure out a way to put out all the ongoing coal fires in China, stop inefficient slash-and-burn agriculture in the third world, develop ultralight but strong cars using space-age materials, and switch from coal to nuclear power when possible, we'd far exceed any targets from Kyoto with no compromise of our wonderful first-world lifestyle.
Could the climate cycle be related to precession of the equinox?
Hey, enviros, enjoy the warming while it lasts. In a thousand more years, we could be freezing our butts off again! Our technology will be past carbon by then, so there will be no emissions to slow the cooling down, either! HA!
Wait until the liberals hear that the planet wobbles so much that it should cause them to fall down. We'll have liberals lined up at every emergency room saying they "feel" motion sick.
Liberals have seen too many Star Trek movies.

Interesting...apparently, we are in the warming cycle (shucks....I actually like harsh winters) until about 2200 or 2300 before it will switch back over to a cold cycle and cool down again.
No wonder Kansas doesn't have the incredible snows we used to have.
SCIENCE!

I predict that within a half-century we will have the technological ability to regulate the earth's energy budget cost effectively.
