To this day, I've never met a climate change denier who does not have a heavy political bias.

I will tell you what has changed. Google "heat records broken" and you'll see how we're constantly breaking heat records. I had numerous hits that were literally less than an hour old. I didn't go cherry pick anything either. I hope you can see how breaking all time high records consistently is not part of a "cycle".
Even if climate change is caused by man in the near term, it will eventually get dwarfed out of existence when Atlas shrugs. Which is to say, when the earth gets to the meatier part of the Ice Age cycle, the earth will cool no matter what man has done (or not done).

These ice-ages you talk about were localized and not global. (Is that what you're talking about?) Not only that, the warming trend has been shown to be global and unlike any "cycle" we've ever seen. You guys need to get over your political biases. If you don't want to give a fuck, just don't give a fuck, but don't lie to yourselves with ridiculous denial.

I came across the link on FB. Made me think of you guys.
I am referring to Eccentricity (http://www.indiana.edu/~geol105/imag...d-the-ice-ages) which is defined as the change in the degree of ellipticalness of the earths orbit around the sun. It greatly affects glaciation, is global and has a period of 100,000 years or so. I never denied anything about the climate one way or the other with regard to man's influence on it, but you like to use strawmen. I just wrote that in the longer term, these cycles will overcome man's influence if there has been one. Long term cycles will also affect climate to the warm side of the spectrum as well and would be similar to what happened during the Eocene era (very warm period in earth's climate history). Man may or may not be around when these heavier factors get involved in impacting the climate.
