I once again use reasoning to point out the rationale basis for dismissing your post - that it does not meet the most basic requirements of an argument by having evidence, logic or reasoning to support its claims. My post is once again a valid contribution.
Why are you unable to form reasoned responses? Why can you not make relevant posts of quality?

As Pogue has pointed out, your own source specifically says global warming can be blamed on human activity.
You also make an illogical claim. Global warming being caused by human activity is not mutually exclusive with other factors affecting the climate which can lessen or enhance the overall impact of global warming, hence yours claim of "Other factors are affecting the climate" is worthless and pretty much every model in existence will take into account non-human factors which affect the environment.
Finally as has been pointed out many times, you making uneducated and baseless claims like "We don't understand the system well enough yet to make even an educated guess as to what the climate will be in the future" is not valid as it is completely lacking evidence, but it is an especially poor argument when not only other people's sources but even your own sources dispute what you are saying.

We are arguing if it is real, not if we can predict it. "... in spite of the continued increase in anthropogenic forcing." The globe is still warming! Your graph shows that! The Earth never warms this quickly! You just supported my claim!

What it says is that observed temperatures are NOT RISING AT THE RATE ASSUMED BY HUMAN ACTIVITY. THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT MAKE UP GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISM ARE WRONG. And contrary to your statement, the Earth has warmed a tenth of a degree in a quarter century (1990-2015) before.

You've provided an unsourced graph with no data to actually support it or show it's real or relevant..
The data is for only part of one country (the US) and only for January and so will not be representative of global changes in temperature.
The trend line which shows no significant increase over time is not showing the change in temperature but the difference between the two models.
Well done on a fantastically useless contribution that only shows your lack of understanding of how to present viable evidence.

Now let's look at the other reference you made, where you quoted a study, because as we have the actual details claims and information for that I can actually show how you aren't able to understand what is being said and are making ludicrous claims.
You claim: "Actually, it says just the opposite. If global warming could be blamed on human activity, warming could be accurately charted according to such activity. It can't. The models are wrong. "
LIE. The study makes no such claim and in fact talks about increasing accuracy of predictions now we have learned more, e.g.: "As a result, the scientific community is now better able to explain temperature variations such as those experienced during the early twenty-first century33, and perhaps even to make skilful predictions of such fluctuations in the future. For example, climate model predictions initialized with recent observations indicate a transition to a positive phase of the IPO with increased rates of global surface temperature warming (ref. 34, and G. A. Meehl, A. Hu and H. Teng, manuscript in preparation)."
You claim: "Other factors are affecting the climate. What those other factors are and how and how much they are affecting it has yet to be determined."
LIE. Your own study identifies the factors and references studies showing how climate experts are now taking these into account: " This reduction arises through the combined effects of internal decadal variability11–18, volcanic19,23 and solar activity, and decadal changes in anthropogenic aerosol forcing32"
You claim: "In other words; the climate models are rising a lot faster than actual readings despite increased human activity."
LIE. The study states that this is interdecadal variability, e.g. in the 2030s we may well see the models be lower than the actual temperature by the same amount.
You claim: "This is the fact that my graph pointed out earlier that you whined and moaned about. THE MODELS ARE WRONG!!! THE HIATUS IS REAL!!!"
LIE. The hiatus has ended and global warming has resumed. Your own study says that it is supporting the scientific consensus on on going global warming: "Given the intense political and public scrutiny that global climate change now receives, it has been imperative for scientists to provide a timely explanation of the warming slowdown, and to place it in the context of ongoing anthropogenic warming. Despite recently voiced concerns, we believe this has largely been accomplished."

Unfortunately, organizations such as this offer a very aggressive narrative and they influence politicians, who then enact premature policies, forcing real scientific organizations to often, at least, comply with their conclusions in order to obtain funding. This is how science works, unfortunately: we sometimes have to play dirty to be financed.
From my personal research on the existing papers, there is a lot of evidence that the increase of global temperatures correlates with the increase of human-produced greenhouse - but the causal connection has not been demonstrated, and the rate of the increase of temperatures is consistent with the previous handful of centuries, something that people do not like to talk about. In addition, there is data demonstrating that the natural cycles of solar activity correlate well with the observed temperature changes, which is much more likely to explain the observable facts than the measly greenhouse amounts we produce, compared to the natural greenhouse emissions and other contributing factors.
To summarize, at best, we do not know if humanity contributes significantly, and at most, it is very unlikely that it does. It, however, is worth noting that greenhouse emissions may have significant effects locally, and the work towards their reduction should not stop just because people exaggerate the consequences.

How long has man been on earth for, roughly 200,000 years?
Looking at that gap of time, some at best can only guess at what's causing the earth's climate to change.
Does anyone know exactly how many ice ages that a planet 4.5 billion years old has gone through?
Looks like in a sense that man is trying to catch up with a thin timeline roughly 200,000 years old, and poorly try to compare it to a timeline that is 4.5 billion years old?
My point of view is that the earth is going to do what it will, when it does.
Hurricanes, typhoons, droughts, heat waves, tsunamis, volcanoes, ice freezing or melting, nor easter's, El Nino's, and so on.
The above has been going on for billions of years, and the best that humanity can do is adapt to it.
Because this planet has gone through more changes than humanity itself, will ever be able to know about it.

The way you are describing the events of change in living condition is saying man is responsible for manipulation. The unconstitutional process that is taking place in a freedom of speech is that it sets in motion accusation of changes with a single cause for how mankind manipulates temperature. Only in a way? Mankind has already understood this way as unpractical. The use of gas like Co2 to create change is unrealistic for mankind as it has already set the process as too costly, and too dangerous. It is not a way that can be seen as intentional to create a fluctuation of our living environment.
The First Amendment grievance to freedom of speech is Climate Manipulation. Mankind holds a power to manipulate climate as a united state. This is not freedom of speech it is the use of news as a form of advertising for education. It uses idea as a method for public bid of attendance in the form of rating without a burden of cost to advertising with a traditional add of some kind.

1. I'd first like to point out the fact that if man made global warming is real, then all of the cities in the world would be noticeably warming than the country side in their respected areas. If one were to simply look at any state's or country's weather reports that just isn't the case. Outside of the seasons the temperature doesn't really change all that much.
2. A popular argument for man made global warming theorists is the melting ice caps and/or Himalayas. Again, this isn't the case. Both are as cold as ever. In fact the pictures they use to "prove" that they're melting are actually just pictures of pieces of ice that broke off and floated down to warmer areas and melted.
3. This one is plain common sense. Man kind has been industrializing for 100+ years and been on earth for much longer. So if we really were the cause of global warming, then it would be much hotter than it actually is.

1. Firstly, cities are warmer than countryside. It's a meteorological fact known as Urban Heat Islands. Secondly it has nothing to do with global warming anyway. The main cause of global warming is the release of greenhouse gasses. Greenhouse gasses don't just magically float and stay above the city where they are released, they disperse into the atmosphere.
2. Wrong. We've been measuring the arctic sea ice for a ong while and there's approximately a million square miles less ice overall. For example:
(Visualisation based on data from the EPA)
3). This is a meaningless and baseless claim. Why would it be warmer than it is now? Because you, a random person on the internet, says so?

Humanity has seen but a miniscule fraction, of what the planet has gone through weather wise.

Since there was an increased amount of water available for evaporation, we saw an increased amount of snowfall. Even climate skeptics are supportive of the notion that sudden cold spouts are not direct indicators that climate change is actually false, which is quite odd considering the poor rationales I am seeing for proponents against the existence of man-made climate change within this debate.
They should know better. Climate change and the weather are not the same thing. The differences between the two are a simple case of basic mathematics and reason.

A fine example of pure consideration of an opposing argument! Global cooling is not occurring if there is an average of both areas in which the climate is warming and other areas where there is cooling.
Where is your sourcing? Give me a fact and I will see your point, but if you will just dismiss my arguments then I see no reason to find legitimacy in any word you say. Global cooling is not an argument to discredit climate change and if I am mistaken preferably use a source other than god.
I insist. If I am somehow mistaken, surely you can do better than your measly posts.

something I recall reading is plants need and grow very well with CO2, which is why it's actually pumped into greenhouses. Plants cool the surrounding area hence the push for roof top gardens and more plants in the concrete jungles which with lack of plants makes cities hotter than the areas around them. There was a map which showed more plant life near deserts and other mostly uninhabitable places because of the CO2.
The sun is loosing mass, energy, dying, whatever you want to call it, and the earth's orbit is getting further away from the sun, if or how much effect that has I don't think anyone can say for certain.
one other thing to keep in mind is this started out as global warming and once that was debunked it got changed to climate change because, yeah the weather changes, hard to say it doesn't.
