99.73 % of the climate scientists believe it is a problem
That's like saying 99.73% of Catholic bishops believe the Pope is holy.
Plenty of scientists disagree as well, but they are shouted down. Many people don't realize Canada was covered by a thick ice sheet which melted from significant warming only 8000 years ago (*) - long before any human industry.
The topic has become too politically polarized for general debate. I won't post further on it because this is not the appropriate place.
Aside from that, I do wonder how accurate thermometers and measurements were in 1604 compared to instruments being used today.

Shorts and T-shirt to photograph today - in November! Incredible light through the early mist.

Tell us what it's like.
Nobody is suggesting temperatures aren't rising. They're saying its happened before in quite regular cycles and was on the up before we very recently started measuring it. And in the greater scheme of things, 50 years is a blink of the eye in terms data capture given the time scales involved.
The question is whether this time it is being increased due to humans pumping out CO2 and if so, how will it effect the world. If its happening anyway there's nothing can be done and nature will take its course. I would be far more concerned about over population which results in over consumption leading to a situation where the earths resources for humans are unsustainable. The research says we have already gone past that point but no one is doing anything about population increases world wide. They're predicting it will levell off which IMO is just wishful thinking becasue in the very near future food will become a luxury commodity and then the s**t will really hit the fan.
Sorry that is denial.
And in South Devon. In fact it looks like its going to be really s**t for the whole of this week. Wet, windy, wet, windy.... just your average autumn down here.
I think the word 'hot' should cover it, the scale goes up to maroon now:
The word 'windy' should be in there too for my neck of the woods. There's already a bushfire just southeast of here, and it's going to get worse before it gets better...
