FF, I agree with the gist of your post, but I have a few quibbles. First, regarding the hottest temperature being recorded in 1913. I don't know if that's true, but if it is, that's just a blip. The data in the last 50 years shows a pretty clear trend. Also regarding coming out of an ice age. That certainly could be true, but the amount of change we've had in such a short period of time is probably not natural.

Again, what are the consequences of these changes, who knows. Maybe catastrophe, maybe nothing, maybe even an improvement in human life. But the data seems to be pretty unmistakable that something is happening.
