I'm not supporting the GP's viewpoint, but I think their point is that we don't have enough information to attribute warming specifically in the Arctic to human causes. I don't know very much about the subject, but given that the Arctic is a fairly large region, I'd be inclined to guess that this viewpoint is still wrong.

"but I think their point is that we don't have enough information to attribute warming specifically in the Arctic to human causes" How many papers have you read? There are quite a few that refute your standpoint. When I say quite a few I am really taking the piss: every single scientist, and by that term I mean people who spend their lives studying things, who are responsibly qualified and who use the scientific method which involves observation, analysis and reasonable conclusion. I'll grant you that there are many sources of bollocks that might distract you but if you stick to decent, authoritative sources you will discover that not only are things as bad as you think they are, they are actually worse. Personally, I'm a bit of an optimist and I think we can pull back from the brink (whatever that is) but the world is gong to be a bit odd in say 100 years time for humans.
