Core samples of trees provide evidence of past climate change. Climate change occurred well before humans kept written records of climate conditions. List two other kinds of evidence used to study prehistoric climate change.

Yes, and as the climate will change in the future with or without man. There can never be a static climate.
Man is not effecting the climate. Only the Sun has the power to do that.

ALL the oxygen on Earth came from a single cell organism. Way before 'man'. Sure it took that organism millions of years to do it,but we are doing MUCH more than simply living and breathing. We're burning millions of TONS of fossil fuels, and yet we claim that has NO effect. Everything effects something else. Physics 101....For every action,there is an opposite and equal reaction! The only 'hoax' is the misinformation from the Bush admin. and the paid trolls on here! Climate change from the effects of global warming in great part due to the rapid increase of CO2 from the burning of FOSSIL FUELS! The term "tipping point" is a realistic metaphor for what is happening. Sure,there are 'natural fluctuation' in climate,just as there are 'normal' fluctuations in the rocking of a boat in the waves. Increases the rocking past a certain point will result in disaster. We are 'rocking' the boat too much with the use of oil. The increase of CO2 is NOT normal! The knowledge and understanding of how and why climate change is occurring,is NOT a new 'religion'! Not any more than Copernicus's discoveries were a new religion. Remember...Religions were created in the absence of Science!

Also stalactites and ice cores give an indication of past temperatures. As the temperature has been hotter in human history and has risen at the same rate as before, what makes the IPCC so sure that this time it's caused by emissions.
