Your reading comprehension level is very limited isn't it?
By the way, 99% of climate scientists do NOT say what you just tossed out there like a woopie cushion in an Opera house. But if you ever really want to get into a debate on climate, bring your best shot expert and I'll shoot more holes in his hypothesis and theories than you can count.

1) Your expert better explain why the earths current interglacial warm spell ran almost 5 degrees C warmer for over 7,000 years following the little ice age that occurred between 16-14,000 years ago. The earth only began to even cool down to its current mean temperature levels about 2,100 BC. From nearly 12,000 BC to 2,000 BC the earth was anywhere from 1-5 degrees warmer than now. During that catastrophic warming period (it must have been according you you and your liberal friends who know squat about it) the earth was more temperate in higher latitudes. The mid-latitude deserts all but disappeared because the water cycle was so much more dynamic. When the first civilizations began to develop in this hotter, more humid climate, there were all manner of swamps, forests, steps and grassy planes in places where now lies the Sahara, Arabian, Indian, Mojave and Sonoran Deserts. The earth exploded in species and many of the extinctions of the late plistocene did not occur until the earth began to dramatically cool. The only other time Polar Bear species reached population estimates that even closely resemble today's all time HIGH was during that 7,000 year period when the earth was significantly warmer than the last 4,200 years.

Now you want to get into the weight of the atmosphere, a real carbon footprint change and what it means, how big it is, whether it is a significant cause of anything climate related, I would be more than happy to blow holes (I am afterall a blow hard according you your excellency) in your best scientists shoe like a holstered pistol. You want to talk climate change...we can get into celestial mechanics and axial cycles like the 14,000 and 104,000 year cycles. We can get into the enormous correlations between climate and the varying strength and weak eleven year solar magnetic cycles and how they match up against the earths own magnetic field changes.

We could chat about nutreno output detection and how the Sun is entering a particularly flat or possibly even declining energy output stage that has most honest csmologists far more worried about the delicate tip towards another 104,000 year long ice age since we should be entering that in the next 1000 years or sooner anyway.

Or there is the problem of empty space that is not actually empty. There is dust in our galactic neighborhood and fortunately during the last 14,000 years of man's existence, our solar system has been floating in a relatively dust free corner of the galactic closet, but that will not be the case in 6,000 years as we come close to the trailing edge of the nearest galactic arm. Our trajectory will have us adding a little more than one micron of dust per cubic meter of nearly empty space between here and the Sun. That doesn't sound like much but when factored in over 150 million Km's between terra-ferma and Apollo, it adds up and the chill of reduced sunlight will definitely be a significant problem.

And to what extent have your climate friends talked seriously with geologists, hydrologists and volcanologists? Usually they don't like what those folks have to say about their theories either and so unless those folks are funded by agenda politics, good luck finding many of them to climb on board. The KNWN facts are that volcanism is one of the better and more well documented areas of geophysical study over the past three thousand years. Records are really pretty good and what hasn't been documented by humans, nature has either documented of confirmed. V

olcanism is an enormous source of CO2 and it is release in hughe quantities during volcanic venting events. Now the fact that we have seen substantial increases in that activity over the last 50 years is important. The observed surface increase of over 70%, ignores the fact that that we don't see (over 85% of volcanism takes place in the deep oceans where the crust is 20% as thick as under continents). But we know from seismology that it is occurring. The earth is passing through a particularly warm exhaust period for whatever reasons right now in geologic time frames. Heating the bottom of the ocean a degree or two makes a huge difference in the amount of stored methane and CO2 it can hold as dissolved gases under deep pressure.

Now, you want to bring on those computer nerds that think they've modeled all this out of their little super-crays and figured it all out. Sorry, the mere fact that the earth was 5 degrees warmer for 7,000 years relatively recently, and 1-5 degrees warmer for 9,000 years tells me the current "sky-is-falling baloney is political and has nothing to do with real science. Garbage in, garbage out. I know liberals love to think man is this super being because God doesn't exist, but I love real sciences and I refute the crap that your buddies have tossed out like brown stuff from your butt on a soda-cracker.
