It could also be said...
People who believe that global warming is not man made, or that mankind is not contributing significantly to the current warming, have no basis NOR PROOF to support such a claim.
True, but then again science isn't about saying "Well we believe it to be true even though we have no proof."
As one British scientist put it in his paper "We can find no reason for the current situation, so it must be man made." Couldn't find any reason within the parameters of the research, so just said "Well, I can't seem to figure it out so I'll blame man."
Sounds like a Hockey Stick to me.
This is entirely untrue. We KNOW what's causing it, and it's Carbon Dioxide. We can measure it. Scientists can go to the Antarctic and drill ice cores and come to scientific conclusions about what is causing the current warming trend. It's not just supposition and guess work. NOAA and the National Center for Atmospheric Research know why it is happening. The truth is that our beloved president and his cronies are working very hard to confuse the American public about the issue. They take climate reports, and vet them for anything that could be construed as pointing a finger at fossil fuels. The anti-global warming propaganda is funded by $Billion companies.
Let me help you here, since you seem intent on repeating Al Gore talking points.
CO2 is 3% of all the GHG by volume in the atmosphere.
CO2 is .001% of ALL gases by volume in the atmosphere.
The oceans are estimated to cycle some 1500 gigatons of CO2 in a year as part of the natural cycle. Land areas cycle some 500 gigatons of CO2 per year in natural sinks.
Mankind produces on average per year.. some 12 Gigatons of CO2 PER YEAR.
That's less than 1% of all the cycled CO2 in the atmosphere.
So how does so little CO2 account for such unprecedented warming and why do people insist on blaming Global Warming on Bush when in the 1930's it was just as warm as it is right now?
