OK I see the correltation with CO2 and the onset of the industrialization as undeniable. Similarly with glacial retreat. It has been shown without doubt the cause is *not* solar flux or volcanic variation. Arctic ecosystems are already being affected.
The GCCI report is *extremely* well referenced and while I've only had time to check a couple of the original source papers, there has been no data fudging and the veracity of their conclusions looks to be valid.
Disturbingly, there is very little mention of deforrestation. The current global and massive reduction in Bio-mass is considered by many (notably James Lovelock) to be a significant buffer against CO2 concentrations.
I for one am concerned, not so much for me, but for generations to come.
