Well, no, Wayne. The temperature data indicates that the planet is warming. We are pumping unprecedented amounts of GHGs into the atmosphere. A simple lab experiment can be run that indicates an atmosphere with higher levels of GHG will warm when subject to a constant source of energy. The nuclear chemistry of how CO2 reacts to long wave energy (heat) supports the contention that increasing GHG concentration in the atmosphere is responsible for atmospheric warming. I try very hard not to let my ideology stand in the way of the facts. And I'm an independent.
