    Provide evidence

    Your claims contradict a majority of scientists doing the field work. You therefore have a very high standard of proof. So far you have provided no evidence at all, much less anything approaching a proof.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming

    Everything I have said can be backed up by the multiple scientific sources from that wiki article. Yes, solar activity is a factor, but your assertion that it is not only the dominant factor, but that CO2 plays no part whatsoever, is completely contradictory of the empirical science.

    You sneer at consensus, but can offer no better way to reach the truth. Consensus is what built the Apollo rockets, and the space shuttle, and even made Burt Ratan's vehicle possible, unique as it is.

    Ratan couldn't have done it without scientific consensus, from the basic design of the wing, to the transistors powering the computer.

    So far you have not only not shown any consensus for your position, you can't even find a decent lone nut. You also have shown a distinct ignorance of the actual climate theory, by inventing falsifications of the theory. I repeat, pony up the evidence, or admit you are talking out of your ass.
