One thing I am having problems with in the arguments against global warming is that the evidence suggests that the surface of the earth has become warmer after the past few centuries. http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2006/12/17/22147/335

The cyclical argument that this warming just happens as a matter of the cycles of the earth and earth physics over long periods of times does not fit with how much change there has been over the past two centuries in temperatures.

The cycle theory for "global warming" would suggest that change would be more gradual which would fit in with the evidence of the ebb and flow of ice and heat over tens of thousands of years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovich_cycle

I suppose this kind of thing could have happened in a natural course of events long before any kind of records were kept but there does not seem to be any real hard evidence either way. Look at something called Bond events. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_event

Man has mucked up his garden so to speak and cannot just blame it on the most recent storms.
