When one says "global warming" one almost always refers to the typical environmentalist position of anthropogenic global warming with dire consequences if drastic actions are not quickly implemented. The academic question of whether the earth is in mild a warming cycle is not the issue at hand.

And so many of the models and predictions of the chicken littles have proven wrong that it is not inaccurate to portray global warming as a failed theory and its proponents as charlatans.
