You are in a science forum not a political soapbox.

Either put up supporting documents that say natural factors are the primary cause of current warming or take your tripe elsewhere.

Every major science body on the planet and the climate science community as a consensus acknowledge human activity as the primary cause of current warming - the physics and the observations coincide on this.

This from boots on the ground climate scientist who unlike you, understands the situation - both the science and the reality of change


Here is what Gammon had to say concerning links between humans and climate change.

This is like asking, ‘Is the moon round?’ or ‘Does smoking cause cancer?’ We’re at a point now where there is no responsible position stating that humans are not responsible for climate change. That is just not where the science is.…For a long time, for at least five years and probably 10 years, the international scientific community has been very clear.”

In case there is any doubt, Gammon went on:
This is not the balance-of-evidence argument for a civil lawsuit; this is the criminal standard, beyond a reasonable doubt We’ve been there for a long time and I think the media has really not presented that to the public.”

You have this to overcome - including over a century of understanding the physical impact of C02 on the atmosphere
Instead of wasting our time here....you could inform yourself

Industry Ignored Its Scientists on Climate

By ANDREW C. REVKINPublished: April 23, 2009

For more than a decade the Global Climate Coalition, a group representing industries with profits tied to fossil fuels, led an aggressive lobbying and public relations campaign against the idea that emissions of heat-trapping gases could lead to global warming.

“The role of greenhouse gases in climate change is not well understood,” the coalition said in a scientific “backgrounder” provided to lawmakers and journalists through the early 1990s, adding that “scientists differ” on the issue.

But a document filed in a federal lawsuit demonstrates that even as the coalition worked to sway opinion, its own scientific and technical experts were advising that the science backing the role of greenhouse gases in global warming could not be refuted.

But of course you in your science based wisdom know better.....think so?
Prove it...we'll wait. :coffee:

Meanwhile...dolts in the Senate akin to you dither :nono:
