Is global warming a man-made condition or is it just nature doing what nature does?”
But he sure could waste a lot of time, money and effort trying. Some form of the graph below is probably what persuades most laymen that increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes global warming. But what does it really tell us? SOURCE: Eye-opener on Global Warming 1) This graph does not prove causation. It could equally be said to prove that “global warming” causes increased atmospheric CO2. It could also be that both are caused by some other factor or factors. 2) The temperature anomaly (amount of “global warming”) did not increase between 1960 and 1978. In fact, during that period, it would have been called “global cooling”. But Atmospheric CO2 rose from 320 ppm to almost 340 ppm. 3) The temperature anomaly peaked in 1998 (ten years ago!), yet atmospheric CO2 continued to rise. ============================================================== CO2 is not the major “greenhouse gas”.
