Okay... one.
CO2... why does it cause the Earth’s temperature to rise?
There is more CO2 in the air: fact
The Sun’s heat warms the Earth: fact
The Earth emits some of this energy as infrared radiation: fact
Due to the level of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, the Earth stays 33 degrees warmer than without these gasses: fact
The ...[text shortened]... act.
So there you go.
There is evidence that CO2 is causing global warming. It is a proven fact.
It is not a proven fact that CO2 is causing the warming. It is a popular theory and nothing more. It may be causing warming and I tend to agree with that, but there is no ironclad evidence that is the case.
You even acknowledged methane is a greenhouse gas in the same post you claim there is evidence CO2 is causing global warming. How do you know methane isn't the main cause of AGW? Not that there is compelling evidence man's contribution to GW is very much.
It has been proven that CO2 causes warming in a laboratory, but not in the atmosphere. That is a fact.
"There is more CO2 in the air: fact"
That is proof of nothing. We have roughly the same CO2 levels now as there was back during the Pliocene Epoch. This was determined by sediment samples because there were no glaciers back then.
We still have glaciers because the earth is colder than the Pliocene Epoch. That is because CO2 is not why the Pliocene was so much warmer than today.
The CO2 levels were high during the Pliocene because the temperatures were warm, not the other way around. You have your cause and effect backwards because you listened to AL Gore's propaganda. He knows fully well CO2 lags behind temperatures in the ice core samples. That is why he does all the talking during events about AGW. He doesn't want anyone to ask him about it. It would be incredibly embarrassing.
I know your cognitive dissonance is keeping you from accepting you had your cause and effect backwards, but you need to accept facts. Don't be a denier of science.
