All climate modelers must build their models based upon our current understanding of how the climate system works. Therefore, if there is some important - but as yet poorly understood - process that they are missing, they will all tend to make the same error. Past evidence for this is the tendency for climate models to drift away from a realistic climate over time. This suggests that it takes a higher level of understanding to capture the intricate processes that stabilize the climate system.
The most important example of this lack of understanding is, in my view, how precipitation systems control the Earth%26#039;s natural greenhouse effect, over 90% of which is due to water vapor and clouds. The Earth%26#039;s total greenhouse effect is not some passive quantity that can be easily modified by mankind adding a little carbon dioxide -- it is instead being constantly limited by precipitation systems, which remove water vapor and adjust cloud amounts to keep the total greenhouse effect consistent with the amount of available sunlight. Our understanding of this limiting process is still quite poor, and likely not represented in climate models.
The vast majority of climate scientists are not climate modelers, and they will tend to go along with what the modelers say. After all, it is the modelers who are supposed to gather all of the specialized knowledge of how weather processes operate, and then represent them in a computer program (model) of how the whole climate system behaves. Thus, there is an element of %26quot;group think%26quot; that keeps scientific biases entrenched in the research community as a whole.

Natural cycle, but we are not helping the situation much either.

The worlds best climate scientists don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s a natural cycle, so there%26#039;s no reason why anyone who isn%26#039;t a climate scientists should say confidently %26quot;I know better, it%26#039;s just a natural cycle%26quot; unless they are profoundly arrogant.

Global Warming is a myth. Global Dimming isnt.

If you have lived 100 years ago, say in Saudi Arabia would you be concerned and ask the same question? Today, humans are still the same but the awareness has increased several times over than 100 years before. It is simply because the minds that is the community is a collective attitudes of the constituents compressed into one known as the society that voiced environmental awareness. The awareness has increased several times over simply because the population has increased that has to sense the environmental changes and realities. Cycle? Absolutely.
My source is my feeling. Sense in a very basic mode.

Natural cycle affected only like 1% by humans

Hmm, I go with 95 percent REAL problem and 5 percent natural cycle. Global Warming is caused by a LOT of factors, and probably the biggest contributor is fumes, bad bad fumes given out by automobiles, aircraft and stuff like that. And these stuff come from people, so it isn%26#039;t really a %26quot;natural%26quot; phase of changing that the Earth goes through. But on the other hand, I guess it also has something to do with nature making her own path.. take this for example: Sheep in New Zealand contribute to Global Warming. HOw? They fart and give of loads of methane, hehe. Yeah, but it%26#039;s a real threat. Imagine if it gets worse: Ocean levels rising (which means less land for us), heat waves and skin cancer, unpredictable weather.. pretty ugly
