Sqrl, you've made some good points that I do not dismiss. However, the very quality of your objections makes the overall issue a marathon debate which I do not want to invest in at this time. Sorry to disappoint. I promise to look into it in the future, assuming I don't forget. I'm busy right now with the FairTax and Huckabee (separately) and need a little time left over for (gasp) games and books.
I do want to continue on one very specific point, however: how much humans have contributed to the rising levels of CO2.
I know your source has small percentages for human CO2 contribution, but I don't trust that website and I couldn't see where he got the data for determining human vs. natural contribution. (I looked in the source he used for the table he got the other numbers from but couldn't find that information. If I've overlooked the obvious, again, please do correct me.)
Wikipedia's numbers from earlier, as well as the same gov't source your website used, show levels of CO2 that have risen at striking speed to unprecedented heights and I just don't buy that it just so happens to correspond exactly to human industrialization without some other compelling explanation.
Do you have such an explanation? Or do you question the levels that scientists attribute to past eras?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
