Sure ya can, Zip.

If you can believe the scheming liberal scientists, CO2 levels are pretty well documented in ice cores that date back 800,000 years. Link Other measures include ocean sediment absorption and rock cores and, I'm sure a few others, that all point to the same conclusion: CO2 levels are the highest they have been in a staggeringly long time.

Now, except for Nash, no scientist will dispute the correlation between CO2 levels and temps. Correlation does not necessarily indicate causation, of course. What is not clearly understood is which is the cause and which is the effect but the stuff I have read seem to indicate that CO2 levels rise first, then the temps lag. Others say differently. Still, there is a clear constellation.

Some theories suggest that the CO2 level will dissipate as temps rise causing that may even result a normalization or even an an ice age. Some suggest that this CO2 is . . . Well, there are lots of theories that I won't bore you with. Suffice it to say that no one is exactly sure what the long term effects of CO2 build-up is. We are seeing warming at the moment (if you believe the conspirators in this vast scheme to liberalize America).

If you wish to insist that GW is a scam, then you are going to have to tear down the foundation of the scam: That CO2 levels are incredibly high. CO2 is the golden key. Prove the data is wrong and you win the Big Cookie.

Other than that, I tend to agree with all your other assertions. I don't think there is a damm thing we can do about it and it has become a political movement instead of a scientific study.

But hiding our heads in the sand pretending that there is no consensus or correlation is nonsensical.
