That term you used "responsible scientists" is one of many descriptors used to denigrate those who have not accepted the pablum of the global warming alarmists. 30,000 years ago Detroit was under a mile of ice...  I figure it's been warming on average, ever since, and it wasn't caused buy evil SUVs.

It was rather convenient the moniker changed from global warming to "climate change" when the average temperature for the past 10 years went down. The climate is ALWAYS changing.. It always has, it always will. It was changing long before future humans climbed out of the primordial muck.

Should it be cooler than it is now? Warmer? By how much? Until you can answer that question you do not have enough information to act in any meaningful way.

That was my point Mike,  it is changing.  What can be debated is why and 
what man has and will contribute to that change positive or negative.   
As regards micro climates do you believe man has had no impact on the 
climate conditions in Phoenix or LA?
