You included a lot of good thought into a few words. I only want to address the words quoted above.
Much of the scientists "proof" is based on computer modeling. Computer modeling is in two forms, empirical and suppositional. The first is checked against known facts, such as the flight characteristics of new aircraft based on known qualities of previous designs. The second is based on the scientists own projections of what the future holds. As mentioned above any factors or values that subtract from the desired projection are either deleted or changed so as to accomplish what the "researcher" desires the model to show!
By definition, no one knows what the future, climatic or otherwise, actually holds nor what factors are significant in that future. So the"'scientists" chose to adjust their models as needed to achieve results that assure they will get more money to pursue this turkey of a project. In other words, it's blatant scare mongering done by scientists but it ain't science! And it works, at least on many sheeple.
Remember, they admit the average temp increase of the "hottest on record" past century was about one degree and most of that was in the first half! So, even if they are right, by projection we might reasonably assume that by 2100 our average temp will be a whole two more degrees warmer?
And, ref. the Arctic ice caps shrinking, the photos we are shown are being shown were taken in the arctic summer and glaciers do that then you know! Meanwhile, the Antarctic snow layers are increasing, so what's the big problem here?
Mr. Ward was right.
