Don't you think it is curious they would disregard mainstream science in placing the blame on humanity?
Who do you mean by "they"? Politicians? As in, why aren't they doing more to change things, despite the science?
I guess because it's difficult and expensive and unpopular. People don't want to give up their cars or meat.
And quite honestly if you've travelled to India or China (I pick those as they are two of the biggest polluters, partly because of their population) is is tempting to think we're screwed anyway and it doesn't matter what we do.
But climate change is a fact - I'm mid-40s and even in a timespan of 30+ years there's been a noticeable difference, yesterday it was almost T-shirt weather in London, that would have never happened in January in London when I was a kid.
And the scientists who know what they're talking about pretty much agree that we are causing it.
I can to a reasonable certainty state for a fact you are wrong about your local weather in London.


In London...
�Temperature   10.7�C�   �Rainfall   710.4 mm�   �Warmest   �28.4�C
�Sunshine   1511 hrs   �   �   �Coldest   �-3.6�C

 That was the weather in 1960.

Nice cherries you're picking there.

TFES Wiki Occam's Razor page, by Tom: "What's the simplest explanation; that NASA has successfully designed and invented never before seen rocket technologies from scratch which can accelerate 100 tons of matter to an escape velocity of 7 miles per second"

When you planted the tree from which to pick, correct?

Here’s some actual data rather than one off day’s weather
