1) We KNOW that excess CO2 traps heat and raises temps - because we've seen it happen BEFORE naturally
2) We are creating excess CO2.
3) We are seeing rising temps.
Hmmmmm......
It shouldn't take a genius to figure out the scenario (though apparently it DOES take someone who is NOT a wingnut).
Try to keep up.

1) We know that increasing temperatures releases CO2, not the other way around. It is the water vapor that traps heat, not the CO2.
2) What is considered "excess" CO2? A healthy adult human will exhale 40,000 ppm of CO2. Is that excessive? Office buildings are typically in the 600 ppm to 900 ppm range for CO2. Is that excessive?
3) Would you rather we see dropping temperatures? One thing you can absolutely count on is that the planet's climate is never static.
If does not take a genius, but it obviously requires more than a Democrat pushing a Marxist agenda.
Don't we try to control forest fires even for those caused by nature? Shouldn't we try to keep warming from raising sea levels?
That depends on whether private property is being threatened or not.
I would not worry about rising sea levels as much as shutting down the thermohaline circulation of the oceans. If the current thermohaline circulation is interrupted or altered, it could plummet western Europe and the eastern and western US coasts into much colder winter temperatures.
Ants, buffalo, cats, pigs, wind, rain, solar activity, etc. have definitely changed not only the atmosphere, but the landscape....
and your point was? Oh... your point was to blame on man things that happen NATURALLY, via NATURE... I understand. Or at least I should say, "I hear you man." because I certainly don't agree with what you are implying.
You mean that same NASA that has that "Hide the decline" Jim Hansen guy? THAT NASA? LOL!!!
Have you EVER heard of Climategate?
The dude along with several of his associates in the department that was/is making these BS claims was caught RED HANDED in his own emails conspiring to commit scientific fraud, yet somehow we are suppose to hold him and his agency up as the standard bearer? I don't think so.
I forgot to mention the very same NASA liars that tried to OMIT the high temperatures of the 1930's from the records?
It matters if your argument is "Man can't change anything" - which seems to be the case with you folks.
Man has changed a LOT of things - ever hear of the DUST BOWL. Do you even have clue as to WHY it happened?
