A word, expert at that, on climate change from Dr. Dave Robinson.

I first asked his opinion 25 years ago, read what he says now. Click on link above.

However, when you combine observations, climate model evaluations and the baseline theory of the greenhouse effect (the Earth would be an ice cube without the natural greenhouse effect that has dominated Earth’s atmospheric history), a conclusion of human-induced climate change is inescapable.

June was the 8th warmest month on record, across the globe last month.

Global warming, caused by the greenhouse effect, produced the 7th warmest June on record on a global scale.  As in any month, there were areas with cooler than normal temperatures, but on a world wide scale it was yet another warm month.  Weather and climate should not be confused.  We need to continue to study temperature trends over many years and over a wide global scale to determine what effects are occurring from greenhouse gases.  If your backyard is chilly, that does not mean global warming is bunk.
