  There is no coin to toss, my friend. And I didn't prove anything about my education. You are making assumptions. It was not my intention to disclose my full education. It is my intention however to stay objective. I think it's kind of funny how AGW deniers get all wound up. The science, whether you accept it or not, is based on objectivity. Your comments and thoughts are subjective and based on false assumptions.

  Ice cores: These tell us (through the bubbles trapped inside) that everytime concentration of CO2 has changed in the past, so has the temp.

  Arctic melting:  Losing the ice is not necessarily bad for the earth; you are accurate there. However, it's bad for mankind as it will raise sea levels and release methane (a potent GHG) trapped underneath.

  Global temp records:  We have records since 1880. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/anomalies/index.php

  Ocean acidity:  Yes, oceans have been more acidic in the past. A lower pH in the seas will likely impact certain species (not all life forms).  

  Coral reefs: bleaching has occurred worldwide, not just on the Great Barrier Reef.  The GBR, however, is still under threat: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090423100817.htm

  Tree ring data:  True, the data are not perfect. It is just one tool to use to look for anomolies in precipitation.

  Rather than trust the views of 60 German "scientists" mentioned on some site I don't have the time to translate (and who knows how they've defined "scientists"), I'd turn to the German National Academy of Sciences, Leopoldina. They and all other national academies of sciences of the G8 (+ several more) support the belief that climate change is anthropogenic and call for action on the climate issue.  How many members make up Leopoldina?  1300. And it's the oldest academy for medicine and the natural sciences in the world.

  Well the thing is Mememine69 that climate change has been shown scientifically to be linked to man by scientists. Who else are we supposed to refer to about science other than scientists? The proof is in science not elsewhere: the ice cores, artic melting, global temperature records, ocean acidity, status of coral reefs, tree ring data, etc. These things and other empirical data show that the global concentration of CO2 is rising, the rise in CO2 is entirely anthropogenic, CO2 is a greenhouse gas. The key is to understand that the magnitude of the warming is what is expected from the anthropogenic alteration of the radiation balance; therefore anthropogenic forcing is able to explain the temperature rise recorded in numerous records by many models. We "warmies" did the critical thinking about it a long time ago. We agree with the scientific consensus. I would suggest adding in the "critical" part to your thinking. Then you may understand that it's time to critically think about solutions. There's no more time for skeptics like you!
