You seem to be deliberately ignoring the parts that you don't like, such as:
"That's a definite warming trend, which is probably due in part to human
influences."
and:
"We know the climate is changing," said Christy, a professor of atmospheric
science and director of UAH's Earth System Science Center. "Earth's climate
has never been stable. What we don't know is the rate of natural climate
change, which makes it really tough to say how much of the warming that we
see might be due to things like adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere."
Your exaggeration of the evidence for your case to gain popular support is
the sort of thing that really peeves me about those on the right. No insult
intended. :-)
