Re: [Phys-l] Global Warming

I know arguing from authority is frowned upon, but William Gray has taken a stand on the issue: the current trend, in his view, is due more to natural cycles, and the effect of human activity is minimal.  Just do a Google with his name and global warming.  He certainly qualifies as someone who's opinion should be considered given his experience with modeling ocean/atmosphere vis-a-vis hurricanes.

All of the reviews seem to focus on Atmospheric Contamination.  No
one has mentioned the Earth's precession.  Is there convincing
scientific evidence that precession has nothing to do with the current warming?

Yes, contamination is an influence and likely should be reduced, but
what about the inevitability of the precession.

When was the recent cold spell ?  18th C???  What is identified as
the cause of that?

The most recent glaciation was some  k yr ago. (???)     Ice as far
South as Washington DC and Seattle, Washington.  Now that was due to
precession wasn't it?

Net URL?

Maybe it is just that Gore is getting to me.
