It seems that there is a small chance, 5%, that man is not effecting climate change according to NASA. That does means that there is a 95% chance we are doing so. This article and the page it supports gives a good overview of both the things that cause climate change and even why the sun is not responsible as some have suggested. It seems to point to the reality that this rapid change at this time is not a natural cycle like we have had in the past and thus the changes man has made to our planet are partly responsible. What do you think?

Did you even read the page that you spammed?

In its Fifth Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of 1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations, concluded there's a more than 95 percent probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet.

You do remember from second grade math what "more than" means, right? ;)

I was trying to make a point that there is very little chance that climate change is not due to man. If I had said something other than 5% you can be sure that the trumpsters on the board would have spent the whole time arguing about the percentage instead of the fact that man is responsible. Sorry about that but I was trying to head off that kind of argument.

The climate has been changing since forever, yeah, but changes that should take many centuries are happening in a couple generations. It's not the change that's a problem, It's the pace of the change and there's not a snowballs chance in hell that It's happening naturally.
Course, those who think corporations should be allowed to do things like burn coal to generate electricity can always point to a blog by a retired weatherman. He refutes NASA and JPL every day.
