Pretty graph. Do you have one for the arctic 98 - 08?

Sams,a poor analogy.Folic acid is a trace molecule and good for human chemistry.It has nothing to do with energy absorbtion by individual atoms.While it is true that pure CO2 in lab experiments can raise temps after 20 min 4 deg C higher than the ambient air,when we do the dilution of CO2 to 385 ppm and only 30% of this has been added by man,CO2 is a very minor influence on climate.

There is no doubt we are affecting climate.I'd look more towards the reduction of forests and the progression of the deserts are being more of an affect.

There are a multitude of factors that have yet to be considered and more research is the answer.

You wish.

Another demonstration of why science is best done by trained scientists.
Letting journalists interpret complex data is a joke: stick to stock market forcasts or tattslotto please!

In the global climate more "Heat" does *not* necessarily mean more "Temperature".

Look I have an opinion that is somewhat different to yours. I can accept your right to hold you view and I respect you.

When you start comparing me with 'holocaust deniers, the tobacco industry, and other dregs of humanity.' I do tend to become a tad miffed.

Why can't you give the same right to hold an opinion and respect to me?

I think an apology is in order. I and others don't deserve such abuse ... even if we might appear, in your opinion, wrong in our opinions.

It definately has to be co2 is the cause, There's more revenue in co2 than in a moving desert.
