Don't know about your stats, but I believe in global warming and cooling. Why? Because this rock has gone through cold and hot cycles since its had an atmosphere. The main cause, a big bright yellow globe we see in the sky every day. A secondary cause is volcanic action, which is not as active nowadays.

More Sun spots = more heat in the solar system. Less Sun spots = cooling. The Sun is currently headed into sun spot minimum within its approximate 11 year cycle. I'm always befuddled that no one discusses this proven fact.

This is not like some guy on a white board trying to figure out Dark Matter. Sun spot activity is observable. It has been for decades.

Question for the AGW types: What exactly caused the Earth to warm up from the mini-ice age back around the Dark ages? It was long before the industrial revolution.

It is discussed. There is no corresponding 11 year temperature cycle. Also when there are lots of spots the sun is dimmed and there is less heat sent out. That effect is temporary as the spots quickly rotate out of direct facing view. There are much more complicated weather effects from low solar than high solar activity. One effect is more blocking. That's neither cooling or warming, but can amplify cooling in the right circumstances.

I’m not sure where your evidence of global warming today is, but i believe in global cooling as well. If you know NC, USA you know that it gets HOT in spring, winter, summer, and about every time of the year. Though this year we got snow in March, which never has happened and was weird. With Chicago as well, with temperatures lower than Antarctica. Global warming shows no evidence, and is a scam for the American people to pay for a trillion dollar “Green New Deal” plan. What we call global warming today i used to call weather!
