The answer was given in another post. See
http://dmiweb.dmi.dk/fsweb/solarterr.../welcome.shtml

The URL you give contradicts what you say!

"Global warming is real, but it's a natural phenomenon, not man-made."
(You)

"While the curves do not match perfectly at any time, they start to
diverge
noticeably by the 1980's. We interpret this widening gap as evidence for
an
additional influence on the temperature - over and above what the Sun is
causing. We think this is likely to be due to the anthropogenic
greenhouse
effect" (Your ref above)

So now I am confused. What do you in fact believe? What you said above?
Or
what your reference said?

Did you look at the first graph on the page, and read what it says about
it?

I looked at both graphs and the accompanying story, a few months ago in the
New Scientist, and again yesterday. Neither supports what you are trying to
make it support.

They don't know why there is a recent divergence. They are postulating.
Man-made additions to the CO2 in the atmosphere did not suddenly start in
the 1980s.

Indeed not.

If the scientific mainstream (say 9 out of 10 scientists who study this kind
of thing for a living), and also the article *you* chose to highlight your
argument, both disagree with you, please do tell why your opinion is
nonetheless right.
