I've stayed out of this because I believe that most people contributing to this thread are just blabbering their opinions, of which I have mine as well. However, please allow me to point out that around the mid-1800's the earth was coming out of what has been called the Little Ice Age, so naturally it would have shown a warming trend in 1880 (and yes, I am fully aware of the differences of opinion wrt the dates of the LIA). However, that does not reduce or eliminate man's inmfluience on global warming based on the use of fossil fuels and sparked by the industrial revolution.
My personal opinion on all this shall remain mine, and I probaly will not contribute any more to this thread.
