What's more, we know the current natural cycle should be slow cooling. Instead, it recently flipped to fast warming. Since the current warming is the exact opposite of the natural cycle, we know the current warming isn't naturally-caused.
We also directly observe human causation of the current global warming. The directly observed stratospheric cooling, increased backradiation and decrease in outgoing longwave in the greenhouse gas bands are all smoking guns for human-caused global warming. There are no natural explanations for those things.
So, you're invoking the VastSecretGlobalSocialistPlot conspiracy theory. You have to resort to conspiracy theories because all the facts and data flatly contradict you.
Follow the bribe money. It's all going to your denier pals. Every person denying global warming publicly is getting paid off.
In stark contrast, the ethical scientists refuse that bribe money. They know they could get rich shilling for the deniers, but they refuse. They willingly take a pay cut to keep telling the truth, which gives them added credibility.
