New User: Referring to "False facts" just makes you a denialist.

The Earth is supposed to get warmer. Solar Devolution causes a steady increase in the energy we receive, and will continue to do so for a few hundred million more years before the Earth becomes uninhabitable, the tectonics of polar oceans and continents cause ice ages. We're just now leaving a period of glaciation. Warmer is to be expected and embraced, as the Earth gets closer to its AVERAGE ("Normal") temperature.

You may as well complain it's a disaster that March is warmer than January, and if the trend continues, we'll all be doooooomed by next October.

Solar cycles contribute short term warming and cooling trends.

CO2 at the partial pressure in our atmosphere is largely irrelevant--water vapor causes the majority of the Greenhouse Effect, and methane is tremendously more effective at the process than CO2--so all those hippies with their compost piles are having a small but probably measurable effect.

AGW depends on cherry-picking data from 1880 to the present, defining 1960-present as "normal," and denying that billions of years of temperature fluctuations exist. In this regard, it is much like Creationist nutjobbery. This is compounded with bizarre lies that the Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period never happened--both events being well-documented in historical texts, by historical events and activities, and confirmed as global events by core samples, isotope analysis, pollen and growth levels and other reliable scientific tests.

The warmerbators, like the Creationists, would like to pretend that physics, chemistry, geology, botany and history are all wrong in some convenient fashion to make the facts fit their beliefs.

Reality is not so easily deluded.

In the meantime, statists and their useful idiots--like yourself--call for control of CO2, which every person on the planet must exhale as a function of life.

I suggest if CO2 is really such a problem, that you stop exhaling it.
