The last word on the CO2-issue!
I’ll put this issue to rest once and for all (LISTEN UP, YOU POLITICIANS) by saying the whole “evidence” behind this has been nulled by the person responsible for creating the “scientific” backing behind all the hoohar that industrialization (and it’s CO2 resulting emmissions)are to blame for climate change: Michael Mann.
Have you ever been beaten with a hockey stick? It’s the preferred weapon of mass taxation: it (flawed as it was proven to be) supposedly proved that over the past centuries, there had never been a warmer climate than in the industrial era. In spite of all the evidence of this being wrong, some people (they who hate us, and they are here alright) took this flawed evidence to meaning that the biggest common denominator during the industrial era which is most likely to have had an influence on the environment: CO2-emissions were evil!
But now Michael Mann has reworked his hockey stick graph, with more data, and now it shows that during the middleages. He’d done this iirc, sometime in May 2008 and yet no policy wrt climate change has changed yet.
The middle ages, you know, shortly after they’d they discovered oil in Arabia – don’t be fooled by this fable of crusades in the name of religion, no, the reason they traveleled to Jerusalem was to travel further down south into Arabia, looking for oil which they could happily burn up to heat their castles and power their horses and siege weapons, dieselpowered trebuchets. All the CO2-emissions of the time must have been responsible for the climate being about as warm as that in the previsous century, surely it can’t have any natural causes? (I’m most akin to believing Henrik Svensmark in what causes climate changes).
It now seems that the climate cannot be influenced by humanity, you’d have to be quite arrogant to think that this measly, insignificant species could influence something as gigantic as the planet’s climate.

Evil, magic CO2
They even (seemingly) believe man-caused CO2 has magical properties, or rather can bend time and space, allow me to explain:
And:
So ice ages must have gone because of the sole thing powerful enough to cause sufficient global warming to melt the ice caps on Europe and North America and other continents. This CO2 must have been strong enough to work back in time, because a few hundred thousand years ago there eren’t any man-caused CO2-emissions, right? So how else could the ice have melted? Well, the industrially emitted CO2 must be so evil (and should therefore be fought with perseverance) that, unlike natural CO2, it can bend the time-space continuum.
Here’s some more interesting reading I have run into:

Alternative theories
So, let’s presume that the earth is really warming (concluding that The global warming’s not man-caused seems to defy the actual occurrence of global warming) let’s find some causes for it, shall we?
* Henrik Svensmark has developed (and tested!) a compelling theory about cosmic radiation, which is high up on the list of possibly correct theories. The fact that it has withstood lab testing is a big plus in my book.
* The earth’s population is estimated to grow to 6.7 billion (counting only humans). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_Population that would mean 6.7 billion bodies with each a body temperature of approx. 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_human_body_temperature or approximately 37 degrees Celsius. Ever been in a crowded room full of people? noticed how the heating could have eben turned off and the iwindows should be opened to let the heat out? Try imagining how that would work with a whole number of human beings on the planet’s surface.

Michael, I get lots of info from the Dutch magazine Natuur Wetenschap en Techniek. Based upon your family name I take it that you too are a Dutchman (at least of Dutch descent) so I’d like to refer you to the website http://www.nwtonline.nl/index.html
A fine magazine, not just about climate change (I’m convinced that the political climate has been wrecked – on purpose – by the politicians, and unlike the meteorological one, it’s *not at all* influenceable by humans – aka citizens)
I’m sorry about replying so late, I haven’t been paying much attention to this blog, but I hopr the info I gave helps.
