My opinion is global warming as in the increased levels of CO2 and greenhouse gases thickening the atmosphere and raising the mean average temprature on the planet seem to be fairly well proven theory at this point with alot of facts and good research to back it up.

Nope. What you have cited is correlation and inference. We have never proven in any way shape or form that an elevated CO2 level in the atmosphere will lead to the "greenhouse effect" that the global warming cult costantly talks about. All these people do is assume that the atmosphere is a closed and static system, like that of a greenhouse.

That's pretty much it.

And has anyone noticed that there were no humans here to burn fossil fuel back then, yet the earth stilled warmed up. Then the earth cooled down without our help, all the way to the ice age. Bottom line is the earth will do what it wants. We can't control it. And we aren't the cause of it. To think otherwise is just arrogant to the extreme.

I always said that we should resume atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons in hope of creating a limited scale "nuclear winter" to offset "global warming." Two junk sciences will cancel each other out.
