"Exactly. Read the article by your man. I provided the link." Read it. Twice. His claim, which seems reasonable, is that natural changes cause an initial warming. That, through many mechanisms, causes greenhouse gasses to be released from various sinks. Those gasses then cause further warming. There doesn't have to be a delay because we are generating in excess of 10^13 tons of CO2 per year instead of having to wait for permafrost to melt, bogs to dry up, water temps. to get high enough for the chlathrates to become unstable, bottom waters to warm enough so they can't hold all the CO2, etc. We produce more CO2 in a single year than exist in some of the natural sinks that drive climate change. And that is a fact.
