The Global Warming Debate

RE: The Global Warming Debate
"There is no evidence that the divergence problem is “unprecedented.” "

How can there be evidence that something is unprecedented? There can be evidence that there is precedence for something, but I don't see how there can be evidence that something is unprecedented.

Can you point to a time when the "divergence problem" occurred before the last few decades? I think the SS article is saying no such data exists. Your argument seems to say since we only go back so far, we should assume that there is precedence. That does not seem prudent, when the data we do have says there is no precedence.

Please identify the "straw man arguments" and "false dilemmas" you refer to.

Regarding the quality of the Skeptical Science website, it seems very well balance to me, responding to skeptical arguments on a point by point basis. If there are straw men, skeptics should identify them. The climate experts will either say why the argument is not a straw man, or concede that the point is irrelevant, or "respond" with silence.
