I Believe?
1. I believe in climate change. The data has me convinced that climate has constantly been changing, warming and cooling, ever since Gord created the earth more than 6,000 years ago.
2. I believe in global warming. The data has me convinced that we have been in a period of global warming for at least several decades.
3. I believe in global cooling. The data has me convinced that there have been many periods of cooling during the history of the earth, and most recently there are signs that we may have entered a period of global cooling for the past 2 or 3 years.
4. I believe that human activities contribute in some degree to climate change. The data has not convinced me that human activity is the only cause of climate change, or even necessarily the main cause. I believe the jury is still out on this.
5. As a corollary of the preceding belief, I also believe that human activity can in the future contribute in some degree to a change in the rate of warming or cooling. However the data has not convinced me of the difference which altered human behaviour can make in the rate of warming or cooling.

Does this make me an idiotic denialist?
