Still waiting for that research showing that this recent warming trend is related to solar activity there Hack&Lube.

I agree with you that there are very complex feedback mechanisms built into the biosphere and that those are the dominant climate altering mechanisms. I don't think any climate scientist would argue otherwise. What they are point out is the role of 'forcing' that GHGs play. The most sophisticated models and historical research of course tries to account for the natural feedback mechanisms. They then overlay that with the current conditions and find the forcing from GHGs.

So my point is that you're just side stepping the difficult points. Infact, what you're saying is mostly platitudes designed to obfuscate the debate. The earth is very old, we are only observing a very small part of the climate timelines, we are too small to have big impacts, all of your arguments have been summarily addressed in the literature. It's you who has the onus of proof to show me that this literature is, in fact, untrue.

Then the other conjecture you throw out, climate scientists have bias, there's momentum to climate research is just plain old conservative blog garbage. The science stands on its own merit. The broad conspiracy theories are just mind bogglingly stupid. Who has a vested interest in climate change? Who stands to gain? Where's the motive? It's not there.
