You are a liar. At the start of the Industrial Revolution, there was 280 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere. Today, there is over 400 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere. We know exactly how much we have put into the atmosphere because we have records of the out put of the mines and wells. Were it not for the absorption of the CO2 by the oceans, thereby increasing acidity, and by the permafrost regions, there would be far more CO2 in the oceans.Yes, the sun has something to do with global warming. Agreed. Weather has always been a fickle thing, butterfly effect and all that. But huge output of man made co2 is a recent event, and the heat island effect in modern cities is unprecedented in history. To pretend weather extremes tied to global climate change is JUST caused by solar variables, is a tad bit deluded. Don't you think?Read this:
As I mentioned in a post earlier in May, there are indications that this upcoming solar minimum could be particularly deep.
Hmmm. “Solar minimum.” Am I getting the wrong impression?
Man is responsible for slightly less than 5% of the global CO2 budget. Not massive at all. Not even close.
