This is my last post on this topic. I have done a great deal of research on this topic. In fact my thesis from the University of Wisconsin is on ENSO and the effect it has on the North Eastern United States using ice records for lake Mendota.

The scientific community was talking about global warming then (10 years ago) and the predictions were similar to what is occurring now.

It is recognized that there are global temperature anomalies and even global cooling and warming trends. However, none have been caused directly by humans until most recently.

Interestingly enough, this video is a synopsis of what I learned in my degree, 10 years ago. Climate trends are definitely a challenge to predict as an accurate model also needs to account for the amount and type of all land cover on the earths surface as they each have a different albedo. Along with all of the other feedback loops and emissions into the atmosphere. Even the sun's energy outputs vary from year to year. Very complex and challenging to model, indeed...but still somewhat accurate given these complexities.
