"I made the point that temperature changes area causing the increased CO2 emissions. "

So the fact that we are emitting several times the total content of the atmospheric CO2 every year by coal burning alone has zero effect?

So Steve, what do you have to gain from stopping the US from becoming oil independent? Why are you so vehemently against it?

One of the GW experts here explains to us the ice core results.
While it's seems to be a fact that the elevated CO2 levels trail warming periods by approx. 800 years, that in his mind still proves those CO2 levels cause global warming, albeit with those specific events occurring hundreds of years later.

So assuming this GW expert is on to something - and in my open minded opinion he may well be - what seems to be a current man made CO2 burst may indeed cause elevated temperatures on Earth - albeit hundreds of years from now.

Just too bad we all won't live to detect the truth - if that's it.
