Well, this response is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

It may not be unusual (in geological time scales) at all that it be "beyond linear". It's just unusual over the last several decades. There's no reason to declare the last 100 years normal except that we happen to be alive right now.

Not discuss it? Seriously? That's a clear sign of dogma and a bullshit warning if there ever was one.

But even if you're right, my points 2-4 are still valid.


Edit: the main problem with your "argument" is that you simply declare those scientists who disagree as "not reputable". That's just plain nonsense.

Edit 2: argument by appeal to sanctioned authority is really weak, and has a historically very poor track record...
