That’s what atheists argue.

That’s what I was thinking. How about PROVING it, to begin with. They have yet to do so.

In this case one would just need to show a natural reason for the increase in temperatures.

You can't, and this fraud knows it. He is just being a left wing a--hole.

By countering with TWO positives, then use one to eliminate the negative? The end result is then - a positive.

Any competent physicist that has a full understanding of the laws of thermodynamics, should be able to polish this off with time to spare in less than an hour.

Earth is CONTINUOUSLY radiating heat from the dark side of the planet, as it turns away from the sun, in its daily rotation. Not only is the earth radiating heat passively, it is also actively convecting heat up through the atmosphere, using water vapor as the medium. Water and water vapor, and the solid form, ice, have most peculiar properties when changing from solid to liquid to gas. There is a TREMENDOUS amount of heat energy either absorbed or released when changing from one form to another, and as a gas, water vapor is one of the lighter components in the atmosphere, allowing it to rise to spectacular heights.

The higher water vapor rises, the colder it gets, until it freezes into tiny ice crystals. This is a tremendous transfer of heat energy, which then continues to radiate off from the dark side of the earth. The now-chilled ice crystals descent in the atmosphere and in doing so, re-absorb all the heat they had given up on changing from water vapor to ice crystals. In fact, the earth is almost exactly on a zero-balance of heat received from ALL sources, and the amount that is re-radiated off into space.

The little bit that is supposed to be attributed to anthropogenic sources (and it is MINISCULE, in the grand scheme of things), does not even have a measurable statistical effect in the overall warmth or chill of the biosphere in which all living things exist on this planet.

The supposed vector to which this “global warming” is attributed to, carbon dioxide, is insignificant as a heat-trapping component, and would make no identifiable alteration to the overall heat in the atmosphere and hydrosphere were the compound at ten times its current level - carbon dioxide is continuously being altered from organic carbohydrate materials and mineral deposits, to free oxygen and free CO2 and back again. Relatively rapidly, it may be added. And carbon dioxide, being a relatively heavy gas, does not rise to very high levels in the atmosphere, unlike water vapor.

All this is in the college-level textbooks, but rarely is the interrelationship ever explained to the non-technical layman.
