Arctic ice loss driven by natural swings, not just mankind: study
Natural swings in the Arctic climate have caused up to half the precipitous losses of sea ice around the North Pole in recent decades, with the rest driven by man-made global warming, scientists said on Monday.
The study indicates that an ice-free Arctic Ocean, often feared to be just years away, in one of the starkest signs of man-made global warming, could be delayed if nature swings back to a cooler mode.
Natural variations in the Arctic climate "may be responsible for about 30–50 percent of the overall decline in September sea ice since 1979," the U.S.-based team of scientists wrote in the journal Nature Climate Change.
See what happens when scientist can do honest science?

Idiot, no climate scientist has ever said man was 100% responsible for the climate warming. The debate from the right, especially the new EPA chief is determining how much is mans and how much is done by natural variables. Amazing you can be a dunce on your own blog.
diot, no climate scientist has ever said man was 100% responsible for the climate warming.
Actually, you were the idiot who said just that.
95% of scientist believe global warming is caused by fossil fuels burned by man.
The hoax continues in spite of the data.....lol
February 2017 was the planet's second warmest February since record keeping began in 1880, said NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) on Friday; NASA also rated February 2017 as the second warmest February on record. The only warmer February was just last year, in 2016. Remarkably, February 2017 ranked as the fourth warmest month (expressed as the departure of temperature from average) of any month in the global historical record in the NASA database, and was the seventh warmest month in NOAA’s database—despite coming just one month after the end of a 5-month long La Niña event, which acted to cool the globe slightly. The extreme warmth of January 2017 (tenth warmest month of any month in NASA’s database) and February 2017 (fourth warmest) gives 2017 a shot at becoming Earth’s fourth consecutive warmest year on record, if a moderate or stronger El Niño event were to develop by summer, as some models are predicting.
With the exception of last month, the top five warmest months on record since 1880 (expressed as departure from the 1951 - 1980 average) in the NASA database all occurred during the strong El Niño event of 2015 - 2016, which worked to raise global air temperatures by exporting heat from the oceans:
February 2016, 1.32°C above average
March 2016, 1.28°C above average
January 2016, 1.13°C above average
February 2017, 1.10°C above average
December 2015, 1.10°C above average
Actually, you were the idiot who said just that.
Actually, I never did...Terminal stupidity is hard to disguise, even for you. LOL
95% of scientist believe global warming is caused by fossil fuels burned by man.
And where in that quote does it say 100% ??????
Thanx again for being an idiot.

Again, do you know what a 95% Confidence level means???????
