From the article: "Spencer believes the earth's temperatures rise and fall in cycles, and that God created the earth with built-in mechanisms for regulating the climate system."

I think it undermines the scientific credibility of your point to rely on articles that credit "God" for protecting us from global warming.

I agree to a point. Spencer is a climatologist with sound scientific arguments, and I wish he wouldn't mix in any religious references.

Do you think Spencer is less credible than Al Gore, a politician with the flimsiest of scientific arguments? Note that Gore has been called "the Baptist prophet":

"We have with us today a Baptist prophet who is so unacceptable that the Baptist establishment in his hometown of Nashville neither acknowledged his winning the Nobel Peace Prize nor honored with coverage his notable Nobel lecture," Parham said. "Prophets are unacceptable because their truth is inconvenient."
...
Gore, citing Luke 12:54-57 for scriptural support, argued that it is dishonest for anyone to claim that global warming is merely a theory rather than a scientific fact.

"The evidence is there," he said. "The signal is on the mountain. The trumpet has blown. The scientists are screaming from the rooftops. The ice is melting. The land is parched. The seas are rising. The storms are getting stronger. Why do we not judge what is right?
...
Gore said some Baptist spokesmen deny the reality of global warming because they are locked in a coalition with rich and powerful people who take advantage of the poor for economic profit.
