Prove that any climate change is not natural variation....prove that any rate of change is not natural.
You still have no concept of The Scientific Method SRBA, as proof is not relevant, try probability/evidence.
I assume you have absolutely no idea what I mean when I write (often) that climate change variation still needs to be shown (outside of natural climate noise) to be associated with anthropogenic GHG emissions to an acceptable scientific degree of probability. The hypothesis is sound and the evidence is inexorably mounting.
:prove that any rate of change is not natural." ????
"rate of change of what "?
Again: Science accepts or rejects ideas based on the evidence; it does not prove or disprove them.

Well I'd blame our economic system (capitalism) for pollution.
it's a system which motivates people to make and to market unnecessary products, cut down the forests for woodchipping, dig up the minerals, produce a myriad different models of car (when just one good one is all we need).
We live in a world of finite resources and yet we (they, the "entrepreneurs") behave as if there were no tomorrow in the effort to make a fast buck.
For them, personally, I don't think they care very much about leaving anything for tomorrow for the people who will inherit the results of their destructive activities.

Phew! Someone who talks sense and makes sense too.... I couldn't agree more. time to cut down on large families and begin to think about the future of the planet if people continue to reproduce.
It's crazy that no one can see where the trouble lies - it lies in overpopulation. Cut that by half in the next 100 years and we might get the idea that this is the way to go. It might even become a habit.
Thanks polo, nice to meet you

Time you caught up on some planetary history paints. The planet heats up and cools down all the time, it's nothing new, so yes, 50% the planet's natural cycle.
Then there are an estimated 7.134 billion humans on the planet all producing Methane Gass, which is far more serious than carbon, and ask me to explain how that is done, go read about it.
So yes 50% humanity, and it's no good blaming anyone in power today. It didn't start recently, it started many, many years ago, before anyone understood what was causing the problems...
So, go read and learn

That is merely, your opinion...........and thankfully irrelevant!
You can't prove that any change is outside of natural variation......there are many theories why climate changes....yours doesn't seem to be panning out very well.............. lol.
Real world observations, just don't support your alarmist theory.........based on evidence, you should reject it.......giggle....

That is what the Chinese have done and how we criticized them. I always wondered why people think it such a bad idea for a nation that even with the 1 child policy has a rapidly rising population, and now with that policy being relaxed, will reach 1.5 billion in no time at all - it is 1.3 billions now.
"Growth" is the center of out economy model, and that is just so wrong; it really is just one huge pyramid scheme. And we all know that pyramid schemes are unsustainable and therefore are illegal - ironic isn't it.
In nature most animal babies born die early in their life and provide food for another animal, and the balance is maintained. While populations fluctuate the balance is always restored - if there is too many of one species, they run out of food and their numbers decrease. As we are able to protect our babies from early death, and we can deal with food shortages, we need to reduce the number of birth.
But, that would be an enormous task in democracy - there is no way the far right would ever support that because less population = less consumption and that would mean reduced profits, and that is totally against their goals.
