Kind of a myth.

You are proving "what" but not addressing "why". "Why" is the much more difficult question to address. There is a divide about this question. Many believe it to because of man, while many others believe it to be the natural cyclic nature of the earth. Also, that we may be due for another ice age.
The science is relatively simple. CO2 absorbs heat. More CO2=more trapped heat. Are there other factors? Yes. Is this the main one? Yes.

That is what I am talking about. That is addressing the why. The why is what is really important. If I had the time right now I would do the research, but I think that is what we need to see info on. That is where the a real divide is.

ViolaLee: Post #4 is a putdown and starting point for an argument. Please refrain from using putdowns.

Who is to say in the next 40 years paradigm shifts won't be achieved in climate science? Are we just going to blame the global economic halt, due to expensive green requirements, on bad science? That article by Peterson reads like political coverage if you ask me.

but hey, I'm no scientist...yet

Who says 2012 doesn't bring a paradigm shift as well.

That's why CFCs were banned.
