most of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely7 to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations. You didn't need to give me a link to that. I have no argument with it. It seems a reasonable guestimate to me. Of course, all greenhouse gas increases aren't human induced. <g>

most of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely7 to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations. "Is likely to have been" does not equal "is known to have been", it isn't even "is likely to have been entirely due to". It appears the Earth might not be the only planet that is warming. mos.org space.com msss.com Also see innovations-report.com None of which means that CO2 isn't the most likely reason for the small observed warming over the past century, but it certainly supports the idea that we don't know how much of the warming is from human emission of CO2.
