<div>A mere mention of the fact that our local cool weather the past few days says absolutely nothing about long term global climate trends, given the difference between local seasonal weather variability and long term global climate change, inspires this response from local blog <a href="http://right-mind.us">right-mind.us</a>:</div>

<div>I suggest presenting these arguments and data to a panel of well credentialed climate scientists who host an award winning website/blog on climate science, Realclimate:</div>

<div>However, given that some of the issues presented in the response on <a href="http://right-mind.us">right-mind.us</a> above, have already been discussed in detail on this website, you may just be referred to the previous discussions:</div>

<div>I am merely a concerned citizen with no specialized scientific expertise, who studies the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change (and what we can do to address the problem), if there is one, which it appears quite likely there is, given the consensus position on the issue arrived at by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change:</div>

<div>Scientist Gavin Schmidt, offering his expertise in the discussions on sunspot correlations with Earth's climate (The Trouble With Sunspots) at the URL above on Realclimate, is a specialized climate science expert, revealed by the bios on Schmidt at the URLs below. If you truly want to debate an expert on climate science, someone of Schmidt's caliber would provide a worthy challenge:</div>
