Wash. Times falsely suggests past warm periods disprove human-caused global warming

A Washington Times editorial falsely suggested global warming science is undermined by studies indicating that the planet, at least in some regions, saw exceptional warmth thousands of years ago. But climate experts don't dispute that certain regions have experienced natural warm and cool periods throughout history; they say climate change of the past half century is "different" because it can't be explained by "natural changes alone".

Our opinion is that Times is wrong. As we saw in "An inconvenient truth", there have been warming periods in the past. That is true. But most of those rises happened at the same time that the CO2 increased. We saw it clearly when Al Gore showed us the graphic of the changes in the amount of CO2 and the global temperature along the centuries: they fix many time. We can say that they go together. Even if it may have happened that at some moments there have been changes in the temperature that weren't related to the change of CO2, those are exceptions. It has been proveed that the greenhouse gases emissions don't let sun energy go back to the space and that because of that, the temperature of the planet is rising.

So we don't agree with that statement, because it is based on arguments that have been proveed to be false.
