as along as we all agree that the current warming is caused by humans!

As you well know Iolande, there is no common agreement on that:D

Nor is there any agreement on how to even analyse the evidence to prove or disprove it, or even what the evidence would be. :(:(:(

So we agree that climate changes can be entirely natural?

I guess you missed my joke.

Of course climate changes can be natural. Does that mean that current changes are natural? No.

Excellent. We all agree that there is no need to prove that climate changes occur naturally.

I take it you're not a geologist. ;)

Still doesn't mean the current changes are not human induced.

Now that we can agree that climate changes occur naturally we have to prove that the current climate change is not natural.

I think there is plenty of evidence of that.

Maybe we can swap evidence.
