I completely agree with your source. Climate change is occuring. But as my more recent sources have said (2013 mind you and even a 2012) which specifically state there is no evidence for Global warming but rather global cooling.
My Nasa Climate scientist also is a better fit source of information compared to "James Lawrence Powell".
James Lawrence Powell is not the source. He did a literature review, which means he read the abstracts, and if that was not clear the content, of some 14,000 peer reviewed scientific papers and documented whether they concluded that global warming is man-made.
So the source is the 34,000 scientist that wrote those papers, of whom 34 do not believe global warming is man-made.
Not only are all the articles post dated but mine come directly from a Nasa scientist, and have figures on Ice Growth in the artic area as well.
The 14,000 papers I referenced all come from experts in the field, and all have specific data.
Theoretical articles have no standing when it comes to documented fact such as the over growth of ice in 2012 and 2013 indicating a global cooling trend v.s. warming.
Ice growth in single years does not make a trend. Climate is a wildly chaotic system, and notoriously unpredictable on short time-frames. (Hence why we can't even predict the weather accurately a week in advance).
Also no scientific controversy?
Again more personal opinion... endless strawmans... you assume there isn't but where is the evidence saying it is the way to assume it is?
Do you know what the term strawman means? Can you cite even one specific example from my post of a strawman?
