Steve, as I repeat, the narrative of climate change has been unfortunately polluted by ideology. When science is influenced by ideology, doctrine, politics and so on, it ceases to be true science. Regretfully, the fact that ideology influences the narrative, at both extremes, is evident. On one extreme, some TV stations do not miss the occasion to relate any anomalous even to anthropogenic climate change. On the other, there are still some drastic deniers.

My considerate opinion is that there are some changes occurring and warming has been ascertained but on the causality side it is not perfectly clear what is happening since the information is not reliable.

What I know is that the solution proposed by the hard-core supporters of anthropogenic climate change is to build more nuclear power stations, and that may be a remedy far worse than illness.
