No such thing as AGW?

a) I am not inclined to argue about whether or not there's a trend of warming.
(However, I'd expect that discussion to be based on temperature observations, rather than precipitation observations)

b) I think it's a little dubious to isolate an area as "small" as Colorado, and generalize to global climate (I don't think AGW advocates would generalize from recent trends in Alaska).

c) I'd agree there's some reason for concern about the patterns we're seeing in Colorado, this year - but I'm not ready to write it off with hysteria.

d) Human (anthroprogenic) activity gets more than its fair share of credit in AGW models.

e) You can't really generalize from macro to micro models. For example - the population of Bailey is projected to decline 10 percent between 2010 and 2015. Does this mean it will cool down in 80421? Unlikely.

(if you can't generalize down, I'm not sure what would allow researchers to generalize up --- the models are not scalable).

I'll try again... for the second time.

Science Chic... what was causing the global warming in the Spring of 1887?
