Absolutely, and that is why I give much more weight to what has happened over the last 15,000 years rather than pure speculation on what may happen in the next twenty years.
No concept can be disregarded, including the possiblity that we may be entering a cooling cycle and the possibility that man has little or no effect on climate change.
We do know that no matter how much money the UN or Gore may pry from your hands climate is unlikely to change as a result.
