Yes, I did read those links. And posted those graphs in that link that do show a warming pattern. I posted them to show that there was already conflicting evidence from NASA against what the EPA might have tried to cover up. And we (I) can't forget a show I saw where scientists have set up cameras that, over a 6 month period of time, show the degree of melting (how fast and how vast) the melting on the poles (both poles) exist. I read them, and I've read more. But, as I thought of it, I realized it wasn't the final determination of CO2 as the culprit. Thats the assumption. I am not convinced it is the fact. I am pasting this paragraph from this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas : "Although heteronuclear diatomics such as carbon monoxide (CO) or hydrogen chloride (HCl) absorb IR, these molecules are short-lived in the atmosphere owing to their reactivity and solubility. As a consequence they do not contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect and are not often included when discussing greenhouse gases." That is something I never even questioned til Sanity posted his claim to Global Warming being a religion. As I said (and meant it lol). Its confusing me and making me wonder about what the real causes may be. I am also not discarding that pollution that emits higher than normal levels of CO2 aren't directly affecting certain areas of our nation, if not our nation as a whole, and am not sure how higher levels of CO2 would equate to more violent weather and the like. Again, I am still thinking on this. I still think we need to be less dependant on oil, coal, etc. Oil especially, since we only can produce a small amount that we are now dependant on...which keeps us dependant on OPEC. I'm not at all against a greener America and a greener world. But I am not ready to blame it on CO2, at this point. (I guess the global warming vs global cooling was just fodder?)
