1) There is "no real scientific proof" that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man's activity.
2) Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.

3) Warmer periods of the Earth's history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels.

4) After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940.

5) Throughout the Earth's history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher more than ten times as high.

6) Significant changes in climate have continually occurred throughout geologic time.

"3) Warmer periods of the Earth's history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels."

Outright lie

"4) After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940."

Yup, aerosol pollution, but CO2 won

"5) Throughout the Earth's history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher more than ten times as high."

Not since mammals.
CO2 levels at 15 million year high

"6) Significant changes in climate have continually occurred throughout geologic time."

Not since most modern life evolved.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is expected to exceed 500 parts per million and global temperatures to rise by at least 2C by 2050 to 2100, values that significantly exceed those of at least the past 420,000 years during which most extant marine organisms evolved."

Batting a big fat zero there, goober.

"3) Warmer periods of the Earth's history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels."

Outright lie

No, it's not, accoording to 420,000 years of data from the Vostok ice core samples:

Nonetheless, recent work has tended to show that during deglaciations CO2 increases lags temperature increases by 600 +/- 400 years [9graphics provided on link as well

oops sorry I forgot the link:

"There is "no real scientific proof" that the current warming "

I thought we were entering another ice age. Sort of begs for some consistency from the oil company "scientists".

"human history" v. "geological history"

Let's see....a few thousand years, give or take, vs. 4 BILLION? Seriously?

Hey Zat, you never answered yesterday. Since you know so much, and I just make shit up, perhaps you can answer why, with the same temperature and CO2 data, scientists in the 70s said we were cooling, but today those scientists are saying we're warming? Please inform us poor, uneducated conservatives with your wise and learned views provided to you lock, stock, and barrel from Al Gore's ass.

You do realize that since the 1970's, almost 40 years have past and mountains and mountains of more data have been collected and the technology to do so has improved dozen fold?

What do I care? I'll be dead soon enough.
