I believe he was talking about the folks that insist that humans are the ultimate cause of the global warming trend. Geological evidence, however, quite clearly demonstrates that the Earth's temperature is not naturally stable. We have, in fact, been living during a cool period of Earth's history.
None of the environmental nutjobs have presented anything approaching a viable 'solution'. We could cut all emissions save natural respiration, and we *still* wouldn't stop or even significantly slow the global warming trend. Doing so would require active participation on our part (like manually venting CO2 from the atmosphere). Of course, that would have a profound negative effect on the long-term health of the Earth's ecosystem.
Many people also ignore the benefits of global warming--increased crop output, and greater amounts of fresh water, to name a few.
No, absolutely nobody ever did. Whatever you say. "Solar activity probably has an effect on long term climatic changes on the Earth. An example is the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715), which was a period...
