NO, you dummy.....I'm trying to show how scientific experiments are carried out in a controlled way. One has to design the experiment such that all the variables except the one in question, ie CO2, are eliminated. What I described to it is a relatively simple way to show the effect of increasing concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere. The experiment would make a good science fair project for a Jr. High or Sr. High student.

Everything seems complex to you.....how do you think thousands of scientific and engineering developments have occurred? Ben Franklin showed that lightning was electricity by a very simple experiment. Thomas Edison got thousands of patents experimenting in an empirical way... How do you think that PC your using was developed? I can tell you, I was there.

And with regard to your volcanoes, sunspots, solar radiation, etc etc.... They have always been in the picture(I never said they weren't) and are considered and can't easily be influenced by man, but a correlation with increasing levels of CO2 is recent (150-250 years)and can be influenced by man. I'm not trying to explain global warming to the world. I am simply trying to show you how to do a simple experiment that shows that CO2 is a causal source. Ain't science grand? And no Intelligent Designer has to be invoked.

BTW, I did tell you these things before, didn't I???? You didn't correct yourself.
