re: #791 reason0911

Does he conclude that the ice ages past were anthropomorphic? Or that the warming periods that followed were anthropomorphic? re: #783 iossarian

Well, I’m glad you asked, since I specifically asked him that question the last time we met (we were out for a few beers in a small group that also included an AGW skeptic/denier friend of mine).

He said that the current warming is much, much more rapid than can be explained by the models that are used to explain past ice ages.

So the answer to your question is that no, past warming was not anthropogenic (I think that’s the word you’re looking for) and that yes, current warming is anthropogenic.

The only remaining open questions are around the specifics of the models used to predict just how bad the current situation is getting.
