>> When you pump Trillions of Tonnes of Greenhouse Gases into the atmosphere of ANY planet that planet's temperature will RISE. Well, we haven't pumped "trillions" of tons. Maybe a trillion. Maybe a little more. Our output runs about 29 gigatons right now, and most of it is coming from countries who have just begun to realize the economic benefits of burning petroleum. And they're not going to be stopping or cutting back significantly any time soon. No matter what you hear But it is important to remember that the amount of CO2 we produce is small compared with the total -- which is 20-25x the amount we output. But you do express a basic problem with the philosophy of climate science. That is, "We know it is hotter today, whether measurements show it or not, because all that Carbon MUST make it hotter." I would strongly encourage you to keep in mind that it isn't about what you think, what should be, what might be. It is about what you can prove through experiments. PROVE. And it just hasn't been proved. If it had, it would not be necessary to make retroactive adjustments over 30 year periods to data, to get it to agree with what models expected. In science if you can't prove it is true then it is false. That is how this works. You can speculate, but it is anything but "settled" (science is NEVER settled). And they haven't proved it.
