Wait... It was originally Global Cooling, then it was Global Warming, then it was Climate Change, and now it's a Little Ice Age? ???
What effect does mankind have on solar activity? I'm sure Scientists with the right funding will find a connection in coming weeks?
Sun Scientists Debate Whether Solar Lull Could Trigger Another 'Little Ice Age'

If you thought the polar vortex was bad, get a load of a new climate phenomenon that just might be coming our way.
Some scientists say we could be headed for another "Little Ice Age," given how eerily calm the sun has been in recent years.
First, a bit of background. The sun goes through cycles that last roughly 11 years, marked by the ebb and flow of sunspots on its surface. At peak sunspot activity, the so-called solar maximum, the sun sports lots of sunspots and is steadily unleashing solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Since our current solar cycle, Number 24, kicked off in 2008, the number of sunspots observed has been half of what heliophysicists expected.
“I’ve never seen anything quite like this," Dr. Richard Harrison, head of space physics at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in England, told the BBC. "If you want to go back to see when the sun was this inactive in terms of the minimum we’ve just had and the peak that we have now, you’ve got to go back about 100 years.”

Soooo, cold Bacon or warm Bacon, which do you prefer?
*Some like it crispy, but not too crispy.

lol
I'm not a big fan of bacon.

Uhhhh we get messages at work that deal with solor activites and how they can effect communication.. And I know for a fact they say the sun as been very active over the past few years... This stuff always contradicts it's self

The suns activity has a major role on the climate, if these scientists were liberal hacks they would never suggest a mini ice age, you know with there solar panel agenda.
You are a moron, the activity of the sun can change doesn't alter that 2013 continued the heating trend.

I don't give a piss about the sun, my house has lights in every room.

Nothing like a comic strip to illustrate how selective use of data can be used to create a false impression, lol. Go back a few more decades and graph that. The 1930's had even less temps below 0.... So must have been " climate change" there too.

Yes there was, the climate is dynamic, ever changing. everyone agrees with this. The variables that cause the change are known (chaos theory, if you aren't stupid) helps map climate models using these variables, like sun intensity/output, glaciation etc.The problem is now the trend is going towards warming. This trend is exceptionally strong and our roughly couple hundred years of data keeping numerous record years were in this last decade, 2013 was no different.
Now if you agree with the above (only a moron wouldn;t) it appears the globe is heating up,something that normally happens, depending on.. take a guess the above variables. However, one of the variables green house gases,again naturally emitted (cows fart methane) also, has risen exceptionally in line with the rise in temperature.
Is this a problem? not really on a galatic scale but for humans it means, loss of land if the warming continues, species die off, more droughts etc. hence the rush to alter any effect we may be having. Now other variables can change (remember it's a dynamic SYSTEM) like sun output, if it decreases it will cool the earth despite our increase Co2, in fact we could make clouds (nasa has the techonology) which could solve the problem (application issue). However, the suns output is relatively steady and transient, meaning the underlying problem will persist. Can this system or ecosystem survive with that much co2? and ever increasing levels? yes, but it will look more like after earth with will smith and his daughter jada.
Are we causing it? it looks like it, you have a better answer that isn't simply the climate changes etc.. we know retard, we know, we know..... in fact, that hurdle was crossed about 150 years ago welcome to modern day science.
We know why it changes now, we can predict things now, we have satellites now, we know down to the decimal the precentage of gases in our atmosphere, complex interactions on massive scales have been predicted.
Your ignorance isn't an argument.
wall of text out.

In 300 years, what will people say about "Global Warming"?

The same thing we say about the Medieval Warm Period.... Not much

Nothing, there won't be human life.
