    Oh, and BTW, here's an example of global warming 100,000 years *before* fossil fuel usage.

    Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. And who in the precambrian was burning sutff?

    And during the precambrian, atmospheric carbon was 500 ppm, without any humans at all. The amount of atmospheric carbon does fluctuate.

    Also, correlation is not causation.

    The solar activity is detected, but that is part of the evidence that is actively being censored.

    If the predicted rise in sea level in that paper had happened, New York, Lousianna, heck, most of the coasts would be underwater by now. It did not happen.

    All that means really is that our models just aren't very accurate yet.

    No mysterious force is stopping our emissions from warming our atmosphere. It is just that the amount of our emmissions, in total, is an extremely small fraction of the atmospheric carbon on this planet, and that there is *also* solar activity that can explain a large percentage of the warming trend (which has now hit a tripping point- melting trundra releases so much methane every year that there is NO effective way to stop the warming now).

    Do you really want to do something about global warming? Stop traveling, plant edible species until your neighborhood looks like a jungle, use renewable energy, and build things out of plastic and styrofoam that lock up atmospheric carbon in nice safe long-chain stable molecules for 50,000 years.

    There is also the point that climate change researchers have not stopped using fossil fuels themselves. I drive a prius and no longer fly. What are you doing to end fossil fuel usage in your life?

    No, there is a warming trend *BOTH* on Earth and Mars. Fewer data points for Mars, of course, but there's a clear warming trend there as well.

    You see, I'm not a climate change denier. I can look at my local mountains and see the shrinking glaciers. I'm an *anthropogenic* denier. I believe there is something else going on, and while our fossil fuel usage does have something to do with it, it is not a major component.

    If the climate change people believed it was a major component, they'd stop flying.

    I suggest opening up the peer review process to a generalized process with downloadable models that *anybody* can check, and actual predictions that anybody can check. Get rid of the "peer" and "consensus" nonsense, which is nothing more than eliteist cronyism.

    In the data from the Mars rovers. Mars is going through a warming trend too right now. If pollution causes warming trends, did the martians discover fossil fuels at the same time we did?
