Some of it is anthropogenic - how much is still an area of research.

All true. Unfortunately, the "research" is generally pro-anthropogenic due to the enormous amount of money the feds are throwing at grants, and the way in which the media is reporting it, all to justify the ridiculous amount of spending that has been proposed to "combat" it. The "best/most respected" non-biased paleoclimatologists feel that the anthropogenic factor is minimal, perhaps delaying the next period of glaciation by 3-5,000 years. As far as the WEATHER changes of the last 100 years goes, 1 good volcano will change all that.
