Quote from Ricter:
Before Man, warming preceded rising CO2.
Therefore rising CO2 cannot cause warming.
Is this your argument?
What do you need, mathematical proof from physics? Would you even understand it?Quote from jem:
I would also add that cooling precedes the decrease in CO2 in the ice core histories... but...
does rejecting the null hypothesis mean the opposite is true.
you know stats... why are you putting such a silly accusation on the table.
Have I ever said I know what does and does not cause warming? I just know you have not shown me any data which shows CO2 precedes warming.
So I wonder how that hell you can make the statement you made one post ago?
You said CO2 causes warming on earth... I asked you for proof? its not my job to tell you can and cant cause warming... its my position that I will let the observational data do the talking... or experimental proof.

"Most of the light energy from the sun is emitted in wavelengths shorter than 4,000 nanometers (.000004 meters). The heat energy released from the earth, however, is released in wavelengths longer than 4,000 nanometers. Carbon dioxide doesn't absorb the energy from the sun, but it does absorb some of the heat energy released from the earth. When a molecule of carbon dioxide absorbs heat energy, it goes into an excited unstable state. It can become stable again by releasing the energy it absorbed. Some of the released energy will go back to the earth and some will go out into space."
Now, I have a question, does CO2 cause warming, or does CO2 slow cooling? ; )
