Climate Denier Denies?

Many recent articles have come out regarding the results of, former global warming skeptic, Richard Muller, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley and his about face on denying global warming.

Actually, that is not quite accurate. Richard Muller merely stated before that issues that climate science skeptics raise have some merit and should be investigated further rather than being ignored.

In "his" (Muller's) latest study, he "confirms" data that indicates "global warming" however, he says nothing as to whether that "warming" is man-made or natural warming. Therein lies the center of the debate, if natural causes changed climate, as we all understand climate is dynamic and has cycles and changes, for five BILLION years (sun, clouds, water vapor, volcanoes, etc) the question is can it be true that man-made emissions of Co2's has overwhelmed the influence of the sun, clouds, water vapor, etc. to now be the MAIN driver of climate and raise temperatures globally- consistently?

Of course not, NOAA data clearly shows that there is NO GLOBAL warming, but that there is a consistent slight increase in temperatures in many parts of the earth but at the same time, about 1/3rd of the earth has cooled and remains in a cooling trend, therefore it is inappropriate to use the term "global" warming, but rather should be corrected in stating- "regional warming."

Bottom line, Richard Mueller did not confirm that man-made Co2's are the cause of "regional" [so-called global warming] but rather that the data sets he examined matched observed temperatures.
