Sigh again!

You can list any number of correlated effects and events that global warming may have influenced, but none of these proves causation!

There has been a global reduction in the burning of witches during recent times, and the global temperatures have increased and polar bear habitat has declined! I'm sure a nice clear graph showing the close correlation of all these can be produced.

On your logic we can save the polar bears and the planet by a more enthusiastic program of witch burning, as the statistics show that the two are clearly linked.

The one simple thing that the high priests of GW have never produced is actual evidence that atmospheric CO2 increases due to man's activities actually CAUSE global warming. It's is not "evidence" to show that both increase together.

You can make as many false comparisons as you wish by assuming causation and neglecting correlation. I can easily show you that Toyotas are far less safe than all other brands on US roads, by graphing the number of accidents that Toyota autos have been involved in over the past 50 years. I'm sure it shows a dramatic increase from close to zero in the 50's to a significant percentage now. Of course that completely ignores the fact that there were virtually no Toyotas on US roads in the 50's and they are a predominate brand now.

Come to think of it perhaps Toyota is the cause of global warming as well. I'm sure a computer model could be set up to show that as well!
