You've hit the nail on the head -- our CO2 output has been going up all the while, which suggests that (dare I say it?) the increase in temperature isn't caused by man. CO2 output didn't decrease in the 50s, either, when we had our last decade-long period of cooling.
- DanielBMarkham 18y agoMany people think CO2 is actually a trailing indicator, not a leading indicator. In other words, when things get warmer, more CO2 is generated, not the other way around. CO2 only absorbs energy in a certain spectrum. After that spectral "fingerprint" is removed, the remaining energy could care less how much C02 is present. I believe the math works out so that after ten meters, additional CO2 does little damage. Here's an article I just googled. The author writes in a flame-bait-like manner, but he does make the CO2 absorbption case very well. EDIT: Link -> http://nov55.com/ntyg.html http://nov55.com/ntyg.html
