The sources you guys cited are clear that any solar radiative increase is far too small to have caused the recent warming. It's something else too, something at least as significant. That the rise has coincided with an increase in atmospheric CO2, a know greenhouse gas, is evidence that it is part of the reason. I know you guys don't think much of the world's climate scientists, but they have slowly come around, more and more of them, to this conclusion, based on the data and their models. Of course, you may be right and it's "dark matter" or "undersea volcanoes" or some other combination of things, and atmospheric CO2 has no significant role. But that does not seem to be the case, say the guys whose profession it is to make these determinations. And their conclusion is certainly plausible and supported by the data. No one said it was proven like a mathematical theorem can be proven. The issue is that if they are right, as appears to be the case, we better get cracking on limiting emissions if we want to slow GW up.

There, that's the case (once more) for doing something rather than nothing. Not that it matters. Humans seldom do anything about impending problems until it's too late. Hell, we still have people who insist on living on flood plains when they know damned well they'll almost certainly be flooded out again in a decade or two, and governments that will sell them insurance or help them rebuild in the same place. So we'll see what happens when we do next to nothing. Cheer up--you win the policy debate by reason of laziness.
