    If you take a look at geologic time, we’ve had huge climate swings… I think it’s far more likely that it’s just sunspot activity, or something just in the geologic eons of time where we have changes in the climate.

      from the article in the OP:

      The global warmth is linked to human-caused climate change and a powerful El Niño event, which ended in June.

      do give it a read. it also refers to this abnormal set of temperatures being more of a trend over the past twenty years rather than a one-off event like sunspot activities.

      i don’t quite see the point of ostriching ourselves into denying our part in climate change. all that does is absolve the large corporations that have accelerated it of any blame.

        I didn’t format my comment to show it was a quote from Ron Johnson as Jerboa crashes time to time when adding a link to text, and I ignored formatting altogether the third time I tried to make the comment. I’ve edited it to include what should have been there in the first place.
