"Global warming" suggests a steady linear increase in temperature, but since that isn't happening, proponents have shifted to the more universal term… - Anthony Watts

The global warming crowd is using all the surface data, including cities like L.A. to support their claim, and the data is flawed because it's influenced by human development. It's about asphalt, not the atmosphere.

I'm comfortable with my position because I see clear evidence that climate change is driven mainly by the sun.

It's all about the sun. Just take a look at the picture above and notice just how small earth is compared to the sun, or even a large solar flare. Anybody whom thinks the human race has more effect on our global energy balance than an active sun does is just deluding themselves.
