You can use any phrase you like, but in this case you'd be debauching
the language. Religious belief makes no testable claims, whereas in
the case of AGW, one can see how the group of hypotheses might be
disproved. These haven't been disproved however,

No proof exists for AGW!
Actually that's a good point. Science can be tested and makes clames based
on facts. Religion can not be proven or disproven its up to the individual
to decide what his or her faith is. Man made global waming can also be dis
proven. So maybe I should start calling it something else.
Spot on! You learned something today, and through Oz-Nob, no less:-) |

Wake up buddy.
Although CO2 has long been recognized as a greenhouse gas, it makes up
only ~0.03% of the atmosphere (Figure 3), far less than water vapor
(2-4%). Atmospheric CO2 levels have risen sharply since 1945 to 0.038%,
but the question is whether or not an increase of only 0.008%
it's not an increas of 0.08% and you know it. It's an increase of 26% |

Stop-press from grade-four or grade-five biology: Humans and other animals
absorb oxygen and breathe it out as carbon dioxide, but most plants absorb
carbon dioxide and breathe it out as oxygen.
Seon, your sage words imply that you belong to the latter group of living

Bad question, regardless of your definition of "history". To learn to ask
questions about life that are more useful, and to find their answers, you
might consider going (back?) to primary skool.

You're (not your) stupid.
Because... there is *so* much more of it being produced now than at any
time
since the beginning of history. Until about 150 odd years ago there were
no
cars, trucks, buses, coal fired power plants, ships used the wind not
oil
or
coal... The list goes on.
How can you compare the previous history of the world with the past 150
years?
Amazing.
But if we produce CO2 how can CO2 be bad for the atmosphere? CO2 is just
carbon dioxide, harmless. Otherwise wouldnt it be bad for us if we produce
it?

CO2 is a metabolic waste product. That's why you get rid of it.

Nope. Atmospheric CO2 has an isotopic signature and so does oil in the
ground. Those signatures are now overlapping in the atmosphere, hence the
excess CO2 is from oil/coal
Oh so what's the signature of oil? See I thought you people thought CO2
alone was causing global warming. |

this question may be found in the geologic record of global climate
changes and changes in atmospheric CO2.
The answer is in the science and the data. But you're too amoral to
admit it.
Quote:
http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/responses/2007AM/281.doc
The 0.03% is the blanket and the additional 0.008%
has miniscule effect because the effect is LOGARITHMIC,
IOW any additional CO2 has "diminishing returns".
Also, the origin of this additional CO2 is UNCERTAIN!
