By claiming that human activity is the ONLY factor that changes the climate, they are DENYING real science, and DENYING natural climate change.

I can prove, using basic math, that the apocalyptic man-made global-warming predictions are a fabricated hoax, and that the liberal left deny that the climate changes in any natural way.
Humans ADD heat to the earth. Whether it's greenhouse gases, or our modern lifestyles, there is some warmth ADDED to the earth because of human activity. Let's say, for example, that human activity will ADD 2 degrees of warmth to the earth this century.
The climate does change naturally. We have ice-core records going back in time that show quick changes in the earth's temperature, before human activity caused any impact. The temperature has been shown to increase or decrease 10 degrees or more in just a few decades, all naturally.
When looking at the long history of natural climate change, the last 7-8000 years have been quite stable, changing by a couple degrees per century, naturally, on some occasions. This warm stability has coincidentally seen the rise of human technology and advancement.
No one knows how long this stability will last!
If the climate NATURALLY wants to change drastically, it will. An addition of 2 degrees of warmth by human activity this century does not mean that the Climate will be 2 degrees warmer. Natural climate change could increase the temperature by 5 degrees this century. If you add another 2 degrees, it will be 7 degrees warmer.
5 + 2 = 7
More likely, because the earth is long due for re-glaciation, the Climate will become colder, and it is entirely within the realm of probability that natural climate change causes the earth's average temperature to drop by up to 10 degrees in just a few decades. If humans ADD 2 degrees of warmth, the temperature would still be 8 degrees colder.
-10 + 2 = -8
If the two scenarios were compared, either extreme warming versus extreme cooling, both could potentially have devastating effects, but a colder earth would be much more destructive. The amount of land lost to rising sea temperatures from a heating world would be compensated by an increase in agriculturally-productive land that becomes more available in currently cooler climates. A rapidly cooling earth would lose much of its productive land, and gain no immediate compensation because it would take thousands of years for glaciers to accumulate enough water for the sea levels to lower and expose more productive land currently offshore.
The Liberal Left are DENYING that the climate changes naturally when they predict an increase in temperature. We don't know if it'll go up or down naturally, and human activity adding 2 degrees of warmth does not mean it will warm. By claiming that human activity is the ONLY factor that changes the climate, they are DENYING real science, and DENYING natural climate change.

I find it fascinating that environmental issues are so bitterly divided into either left or right perspectives.
You know that must mean the truth is somewhere in the middle.
But that's what the O.P is saying, does anyone know what the Differing figures should naturally be?
What is going to happen will happen regardless of the efforts to reduce our effects.
We need to stop fracking, at least we can ( I think) both agree on that.
