Seriously climate CHANGE has been with us for eons. If it had been around 10,000 years ago the TOP of the Sears tower would have been under 3,000 feet of ice. If you visit the Field Museum of Natural History, be sure to see the exhibit of Sue, the T-Rex dinosaur. This is the most completely preserved fossil of a dinosaur of that size. Dinosaurs are widely believed to have been cold-blodded animals that could only exist in temperate climates yet...Sue's remains were found in South Dakota, 60 miles south of the North Dakota border, hardly a tropical Eden today. This isn't to say that we should be reckless with our resources, but only to suggest that we can't assume we have total control over our planet. Unexpected events can take place for which we can't blame ourselves. Thoughtful deliberate action to preserve what we can while promoting prosperity will benefit all of us.

Most of the feedback inducing mechanism are situated in the North: Greenland, tundra, Arctic ice (albedo), Siberian and Canadian forests, snow in winter (albedo) etc.? The South is coming but late: so what is the warming in the North and what is the warming in the South during the last decade? What about the difference of the northern and southern hemispheres?

The fact is the entire road trip with recent high engine temperatures has been wiped out in two downhill miles as the temperature continues to plunge. Either a broken coolant pump causes the planet to warm, or it does not. Obviously the "enormous" amount of radiator fluid released from the car over the past 150 miles didn't mean squat in the last mile. Obviously, coolant pumps are not the prime mover of engine temperatures. Scientifically, the coolant pump hypotheses has been falsified. It is about time to start acting like drivers and letting the flawed coolant pump hypothesis collect dust with all the other failed theories of auto repair.

Unfortunately, the only fact which is apparent in your post is that you do not have a clue about climate science. Go read some science papers, they are full of facts. Yes, science is about facts.
