You keep blowing hot air about science you don't understand. if you want to understand it, go study climatology or oceanography. Or at least exert some effort to inform yourself.
It's depressing seeing how many people here accept only science that fits their political preferences.

Still doesn't make it right.

Flight is proven fact. It is seen every day and there are people in my circle of friends as well as myself who have experienced it. | ok this is a way to see it, trusting others or your eyes, which doesnt tell you if it really works when you board it, maybe it's magic and you have the ability to break this magic ;p i don't board anything without knowing how it works (cars, planes, trains etc.)
now talking about global warming, the CO2 factor which you pointed out doesnt tell us that global warmin is man made, but that co2 level is higher than anything we every encountered in earth history should make us think, because co2 is proven to be a greenhouse gas and the greenhouse effect is proven to be true too, so even if it's such a small number science has proven that this has influence on earth temperature, the base temperature of earth is 15°C i looked it up, and i can if you really want me to calculate how much more energy the sun has to produce to warm the earth more than 1°C, there might be cycles but they never exceeded todays measurments

I have respect for Rob, Whir and the other mods; At least they pretty much stay neutral and represent TIMO neutrally.

Creatures | Actually creatures it is not that easy to calculate. basically 1% more output in solar may result in many degree change because it involves greater water vapor less reflection from snow caps and all the other things attributed to AGW.
Long and short of it... the primary driver in the Global temperature is obviously not c02 being that the end of each warming period is punctuated by High co2 and a 3° drop in temperature. Practically over night. Remember that is one of my primary arguments. So it is obvious that something happens every 100,000 years that forces sharp rise in temp and then subsequently a sharp fall in temperature about 18,000 years later. So be it solar, Elvis, or little grey aliens... there is one thing for sure something drives more than 3° very quickly and it ain't CO2! |

Almost all "science" re. "global warming" is agenda driven - the self-hating leftists' anti-human agenda. And trying to dig out what little is actually science is worth no one's time to bother with. If the scientist is not neutral going in, than any results he turns out must also be suspect.

Creatures | The point I am making with the violent temperature swings that are inversely related to co2 is because they indicate a relationship of warming releases co2 as such co2 is not a primary driver. AS such I am not sure how much affect doubling it will cause I still contend that looking at history we are on the cusp of 3 degree drop toward the next ice age.... only a few thousand years left at best. So when this happens we is gonna see extinction class events which will make mans impact on earth look like a walk in the daisys. |

emissions of CO2 by human activities are currently more than 130 times greater than the quantity emitted by volcanoes, amounting to about 27 billion tonnes per year.
| Quote: |
the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by about 35% since the beginning of the age of industrialization.
| Quote: |
Most greenhouse gases have both natural and anthropogenic sources. During the pre-industrial holocene, concentrations of these gases were roughly constant. Since the industrial revolution, concentrations of all the long-lived greenhouse gases have increased due to human actions.
| Co2 has a radiative forcing of 1.46 W/m2 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...e-forcings.svg Quote: |
Radiative forcing is intended as a useful way to compare different causes of perturbations in a climate system.
| Quote: |
CO2 has a variable atmospheric lifetime, and cannot be specified precisely. Recent work indicates that recovery from a large input of atmospheric CO2 from burning fossil fuels will result in an effective lifetime of tens of thousands of years. Carbon dioxide is defined to have a GWP of 1 over all time periods.
| Quote: |
Methane has an atmospheric lifetime of 12 ± 3 years and a GWP of 62 over 20 years, 23 over 100 years and 7 over 500 years. The decrease in GWP at longer times is because methane is degraded to water and CO2 by chemical reactions in the atmosphere.
