Former UN Lead Author: Global Warming Caused By ‘Natural Variations’ In Climate http://dailycaller.com/2015/05/22/f...ming-caused-by-natural-variations-in-climate/ Global temperature change observed over the last hundred years or so is well within the natural variability of the last 8,000 years, according to a new paper by a former Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) lead author. Dr. Philip Lloyd, a South Africa-based physicist and climate researcher, examined ice core-based temperature data going back 8,000 years to gain perspective on the magnitude of global temperature changes over the 20th Century. What Lloyd found was that the standard deviation of the temperature over the last 8,000 years was about 0.98 degrees Celsius– higher than the 0.85 degrees climate scientists say the world has warmed over the last century.

Meaning that the Earth has been swinging between cold and hot in a wider band than has been seen since since the existence of human industry. I believe that what is going on here is that in the modern era mankind has begun to eschew traditional religions but a significant percentage appear to need to replace it with something else that resembles a purpose so they latch onto Warming or Whales or Whatever and crusade like their ancestors might have done over their religion. These people aren't ready for secularism.
