The Alfred P. Sloan Chair of Meteorology at MIT. Alfred P. Sloan was the guy who founded the modern GENERAL MOTORS. Biased? Ya think maybe a little bit?
Bill Gray lives in my town, I've delivered electronics to the Atmospheric Sciences Department of the Natural Resources College of Colorado State University. I've spoken with him (usually about hurricane prediction, his real specialty) and I posed a question be could neither answer nor refute; "So tell me how ten thousand coal fired power plants and a billion automobiles could NOT affect climate?" He admitted it had to do something, no matter what the sun was doing. So much for Bill Gray, anti global warming crusader. BTW, that's not second hand info, a quotation or hearsay; the man said that to ME.
SoCal, you've utterly failed to show any kind of conclusive support for the contention that global warming isn't occurring due to human activity. Your quotes are wrong- above- and the EPICA ice core study you mentioned- the one that showed global temps for 600,000 years? Yeah, that's the very same one that shows the last ten thousand years have been the warmest in the whole sample, and that today's measurements build on that, spiking even more.
The main 'mystery' left about that core is why it started ten thousand years ago, at the end of the last ice age. It does coincide with more atmospheric carbon, so we know something burned continuously for most of that time... like cooking fires and fires for slash n burn agriculture.
