And I got rated down because? I only stated facts, people. Just because one person got caught trying to hide a decrease doesn't mean that all these years of correlation between CO2 and temperature increases are negated, that definitely isn't science. The planet warms and cools naturally no matter what you think, it would be nice to figure out why. Maybe this most recent data showing a decrease in temp is evidence that we entered into another cooling phase? It could just be natural, it could be influenced by us or even both, we really don't know for sure. Ignoring how the climate changes is not smart and ignoring the fact that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is reaching all time highs isn't smart because we don't know what will happen.

It has not been proven that the changes in CO2 concentrations will affect global temperatures. The fact that nobody can create a computer model that correlates to the real world illustrates this point. The earth is a much more complicated and dynamic system than most people think.

Yes it has, any amount of greenhouse gas increases in the atmosphere will increase the global temp. This doesn't necessarily have to be CO2, but anything that makes the atmosphere more dense will increase temps...including clouds. Difficulty in creating a computer model does not illustrate anything, it's difficult to make any computer model. Duh the earth is dynamic and complicated, I don't think anyone questions this.

Correlation is not causation. This is a cornerstone of science.
