And I could show you any high school astronomy student who most certainly knows that the planet Venus is an example of a run-away greenhouse caused by accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Again, 97% of the the scientists on earth believe that man may be partially responsible for the current climate change. That doesn't mean that man is totally responsible, but even tiny changes in the delicate balances that permeate our world have caused global extinction events. Usually the organisms at the top of the chain are the first to die. That would be us Ted.
Uhm, the Earth has been warming since the end of the ice age. It has also gotten hotter and cooler as the ebb and flow of the living entity it is. We are just not that significant yet Jimmy! The arrogance of mankind never ceases to amaze me!
