The operative term being ‘out on a limb’... meaning it was one guy saying extreme stuff, not an accepted position of science.

It’s telling you need to use these extreme examples to pretend you have a point.

It has got very slightly warmer.

Nobody at all, who is not mad, denies that.

What is your point?

That you are interlectually unable to get that idea through your head? It has after all been explained many times to you.

You might want to read WG2 of the IPCC and get back to us.

You’ll find it’s not ‘automatically assumed to be true’ and that a significant amount of study has been done on it, by people who are vastly more intelligent than yourself. Vastly.
