No, you've misunderstood the research and findings.They didn't say the global warming wasn't happening. They re-calibrated anthropogenic contribution because previous models forgot a huge variable that wasn't included, before, and it makes man's contribution to the undeniable global warming 10 times less.
From .1% to .01%.
The climate change numbers aren't different. We just shifted around the ratios within the already existing climate change figures with the new research.
And what this thread is about is not different than what Robtard and Adam are posting about: global warming IS happening. Water levels ARE rising. This thread isn't about that. People denying climate change are idiots. It's happening. There's mountains upon mountains of evidence from many different angles that supports this. What is in question is how much man is responsible for it. Current adjusted models with results duplication show that it is .01%, now, whereas the previous IPCC figure was .1%.

Don't confuse the .01% anthropogenic contribution to climate change with pollution. Those are two separate issues. I'd say that man's contribution to pollution is damn near close to 100%. I mean...other than swamp gas, thawing tundra gas, and volcanic eruptions, what else pollutes the environment besides dirty stinking humans?
Do you ever get tired of slapping down their arguments or do you derive a sick pleasure from it?!

How much of a snowball effect is present with the contributions of humans to climate change? Think of compounded interest.
I made this point, earlier, multiple times. It's not anywhere close to as bad as some of the morons are making it out to be, however.
But it's still happening.

Yes and I am saying with as much pollution humans create (green house gases etc) either directly or indirectly, the 0.01% seems rather low.

Oh Dear...
Some news outlets are publishing articles stating that this claim is based on a new study. In reality, there is no new published study. The claim comes from a six-page document uploaded to arXiv, a website traditionally used by scientists to make manuscripts available before publication. This means that this article has not been peer-reviewed, so there is no guarantee to its credibility. -snip
Oh dear indeed.
