Global warming is almost certainly entirely natural... And caused by the way the Earth orbits the sun. Now, *where* have I heard that before? Marvel Comics? |

Then, you can parse that statement father: "almost certainly" - okay, that
makes sense, since no one is 100% sure of what's going on, & tends to be a
given with hypotheses. However, the phrase "entirely natural" can be taken
two ways: 1) the entire/whole causation is natural, with human activities
playing no role whatsoever, or 2) the role of the earth's orbit & sun on the
earth's climate is a very natural thing. (But this latter take on "entirely
natural" doesn't preclude other factors as well.)

can see where you need to repeat the same nonsense every time you dig
yourself a hole by trying to discuss earth science. You must walk around
with a "Kick Me" sign on your back.
