Default Inconvenient Truths Indeed

Interesting citation, given that Revelle died July 15, 1991.

"Balling is a declared "global warming skeptic." However, in Balling and Sen Roy
(2005) he writes: "There is substantial evidence that a non-solar control has become
dominant in recent decades. The buildup of greenhouse gases and/or some other
global-scale feedback, such as widespread changes in atmospheric water vapor, emerge
as potential explanations for the recent residual warming found in all latitudinal
bands."

It just takes a couple minutes of digging to find inconsistencies and contradictions.
The fact is, that 1000 of these people could be lined up and "SAY" they dont
"believe" in global warming and it doesnt MEAN anything. What matter is the
EVIDENCE. It is the scientists that actually do the experiments, like measuring CO2
and temperature in those 650K year old ice cores that matter.

It is also wise to separate the issues.
1. is there evidence of global warming
2. what is likely to happen if there is global warming
3. is this warming unprecedented
4. are humans to blame
