OK, thanks for you personal attacks, Reasic, which completely invalidate any sort of rebuttal you have, which takes the same line, man must be at fault, yada yada yada. If that was the case, then why do almost none of the believers, and especially the leaders, fail to reduce their actual carbon footprint?

It takes a much greater understanding of our climate than you have demonstrated here, so I completely understand that this is way over your head. However, I’ll try to help spell it out for you. You see, there are these things called feedbacks, and they react to the changes in temperature that are a result of other factors, such as land use changes and carbon dioxide emissions. These feedback reactions are slower, which means it takes a while for the planet to reach an equilibrium state after a change in temperature as a result of a forcing. So, we are still not seeing the full effect of emissions to this date. Therefore, as we strive to reduce our emissions, we will continue to see the slower feedback effects of past emissions. That’s not to mention that reducing emissions itself is a slow process. I know this is a lot of info, so read it over a few times if you have to.

Secondly, you completely skipped over Chait’s second criticism of Will, which was that he cherry-picked the warmest anomaly in recent years (1998) to claim that there hasn’t been any warming since (a common misunderstanding among deniers).
