While there is no denying we are pumping CO2 into the air with every mile and also every breath, the proponents of global warming fail to provide conclusive evidence. Speculation based on the minuscule amount of time we have been monitoring weather does little to make the case because we know so little about the natural rhythm of climate change.
If we accept that increased levels of atmospheric CO2 cause increases in global temperature, then start monitoring the levels of global atmospheric CO2.
My suspicion is that we won't see any notable increase in atmospheric CO2 because the rains and snows wash the CO2 out of the air. What we do know is we are experiencing acid rain and when CO2 is washed from the air in rain, the rain becomes slightly acidic as carbonic acid.
It would be interesting to know the atmospheric methane concentration for the past couple hundred years and its ebb and flow.

Ah, thanks for setting me straight. I really appreciate the ad hominems thrown in for emphasis. Really quite kind of you. Thanks again.
