Here is another word you need to remember, it is in the title of this thread.
"anthropogenic"
If you fail to use this word you are an idiot. It is extremely important to make this distinction. Nobody denies natural global warming, at least nobody who knows about the Pliocene Epoch. Global warming is real alri ...[text shortened]... te articles and purposely leave out the word "anthropogenic" are nothing short of propagandists.
What you refuse to understand in your haste to pronounce CO2 levels as somehow making what we see today as not being caused by humans, the fact there are more than one greenhouse gas, like methane which is something like 25 times the greenhouse gas pound for pound as CO2. And water vapor is another. You can't just look at CO2 readings and extrapolate a whole history out of that one gas. But that doesn't bother you since you already have your bias where you just parrot your buddy who thought aliens caused it.
It doesn't matter to you what is causing climate change, one new fact: the arctic is running 36 degrees F right now, 20 degrees higher than it should be and that is now, in November. That will impede new ice forming no matter how cold the winter gets and can lead to more methane being released, a positive feedback mechanism which can lead to unstoppable heat rise and loss of even more ice around the world, Iceland, Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic. I know all about the increase in ice in Antarctica so you don't have to bring that one up, That can go on only so long and an irreversable trend can happen that will screw humanity royally to say nothing of exacerbating the already ongoing major extinction event going on as we speak, as large a loss of diversity as what happened 66 million years ago, using whatever catch phrase you want, primary cause, anthromomorphic age, whatever, mankind is the one mostly at fault here, my guess, 80% at fault. Of course you WILL scoff at that kind of figure, anything more than 10% human activity is all you would ever admit to but it matters not a whit what you believe, what matters is do we have the political will to counter it, man made or not. But it IS manmade as much as you want to yell otherwise.
