Simple answer is... Arrogance. People want to believe that we can control everything! That includes causing Global Warming, because if we caused it, then we can stop it. Sooooo not true. People have been taking on nature for centuries and thinking they have beaten it. We do all sorts of dumb things like...
Building cities underneath known active volcano's - Mt. Vesuvius
Building cities below sea-level, surrounded by water and only protected by man-made dikes and water pumps. - New Orleans
Building houses on fault lines - California
Building houses close to shorelines - Just about any Coast
Live in trailer houses or somewhere without a tornado shelter in an area prone to severe weather - Midwest, United States
And then we cry or place blame on others when something bad happens. It's the way the world works people! Take a look at History and Learn from it. Looking at the history of the planet tells us that the temperatures can go from one extreme to the next. This is nothing new and it is part of our world and we need to learn to deal with it.

Presumably the truly debate i approximately AGW, as a substitute than simply GW. Of direction I have not obvious any intelligent thought that explains any of the present warming via usual motives, so in that experience when you be given GW, and deny AGW then you definately must gift a few critical proof as to a couple different intent, due to the fact that the is plenty of proof at the AGW aspect. I might no longer be amazed if there are a few truly local weather similar scientists who deny AGW, in any case there have to be countless numbers and there might be a high-quality variety of competencies, know-how, competence and capacity, however that would not imply a factor, truly technology and truth don't seem to be fame contests. The surroundings 'is' whether or not persons feel in it or no longer. In the identical manner GW is occurring, its measured and the measurements stack as much as scrutiny. So whether or not persons adding scientists feel or deny makes no change to the truth, simply the politics. AGW isn't a faith and does no longer require worshipers and even believers. However if humanity as a organization does no longer pull its collective finger out and take movement we will be able to jointly seal our doom. If we do take proper movement even at this as a substitute overdue degree, we will be able to nonetheless hinder the worst results and mitigate the relaxation with out dooming long term generations to gigantic hardships.

Mr Jello, thankyou for unblocking me.
Now, would you mind explaining why you're writing your own science and history and why you invented Solar Global Warming? Which is incidentally a contradiction in terms, solar and global being two very different things.
To answer your question people have to use a computer. Computers have search engines. A search for the term "solar global warming" finds 2,070 results, a search for the term "the world is flat" finds 1,650,000 results.
If you have such respect for climate scientists why don't you listen to them and why are you again writing your own science by inventing what they say. I am a climate scientist, I work with them every day of the week (I have about 20 within the building right now), in the 24 years I've been involved with climatology I've met thousands of others. I have never even heard a single one of them use the term SGW.
Here's a challenge - provide the name of a single person who has any scientific credentials at all (a vet, dentist, arborist, whatever) who claims they support SGW.

Because people are smart enough to understand that just because the Sun is Earth's biggest heat source does not mean that humans cannot be increasing the temperature of the Earth to an even higher level.
Scientists KNOW that the Sun can increase the temperature. However, the same scientists also know how much the natural heat increase should be and have noticed that the Earth is heating faster and hotter than predicted by measurements of the Sun's thermal output. This unnatural increase is attributed to humans.
Why is this so hard to understand?

You are right about that, Mr. Jello. Following I quote part of an article written by Bill Steigerwald, dealing precisely with the subject of SGW. The link to the full article is provided at the end.
"Even filtered by our atmosphere, even after traveling eight minutes at the speed of light, sunshine is so full of energy it can create life on Earth, turn water to gas and melt polar ice.
But the sun can't cause global warming.
The sun is so distant and so small in our sky we forget how enormous it is -- and what a speck of space dust Earth is. Our home star composes 99.82 percent of the mass of the solar system. The sun's mass is 330,000 times the Earth's mass. About 1 million Earths could fit inside the sun.
The sun is a furnace of nuclear fusion beyond human comprehension. Although just an ordinary star, it produces an incomprehensible 386 billion-billion megawatts of energy per second.
It's also real hot. Its core is a hellish 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. Its corona, which extends millions of miles into space, has temperatures of 1.8 million degrees.
But the sun doesn't just bathe our tender planet in light and heat. It also blasts us with an invisible hurricane of high-energy electrons and protons that travel at 1.6 million miles per hour."

Because it is not "politically correct" to disagree with them.
Many of those being quoted and used as their poster child for "global warming is caused by man" are employees of their respective government agencies (not an independent thinker among them for the most part) or are academics who are looking for a quick government grant.
They have figured out the basics of politics and tenure -- know what to kiss, whose to kiss and when to kiss it!

As a geologist, it amuses me to see some people alarmed about glaciers melting. It is like worrying about water going down a river. Glaciers melt. That is what they do. It is their job. When they stop melting faster then they accumulate, they grow. When they grow, generally bad things happen such as ice ages. Continental glacier covered much of North America and Europe. To listen to the alarmists, they are wishing we could all go back 6000 years and live the life of Neanderthals. No thanks. I like my warm So California cliamte.

Travel Channel and Discovery show how the Glaciers are melting. Sometimes people need a long period of time to believe what is right in front of them.

They drink the Kool-Aid.
The GW Kool-Aid.
They would rather rely on concensus than science.
Remember concensus is opinion not science.
Keep your politics out of my science...Kool-Aid drinkers.

amen...Jim Z
