Therefore, IMHO, it would be closer to the truth to call WUWT a «skeptic» site that calls into question exactly how much the mean temperature has increased since the advent of the thermometer record in the late 1880's, how much of that is due to human activities and how much to natural cycles not under our control, what dangers rising temperatures may pose to human life and civilization, and what technologically and politically doable actions may be taken to reduce human - caused warming, and our dependence on foreign sources of fossil energy.
The AGU statement says that the «not natural» climate changes being recorded — perhaps best exemplified (albeit, I'll admit, overly simple) by the cascade of recent years all warmer than anything else since 1850 — are «best explained» by the increasing accumulation of man - made greenhouse gases and aerosols.
