Global warming-How did I miss this debate?

This discussion has been going on for over a century, not just a couple years like the liberal media would like you to think. Rainy T. was pretty much spot on in his post.

Here is an article to look at.

Al Gore stands to make a lot of money on the back of individuals that don't understand why he is doing this. I try to follow the money. See these two articles.

Now to the science...

Global warming allies use the "CO2" label to back up their rhetoric. Most of these people don't have the education or knowledge to understand what they are really saying. They say greenhuse gases are destroying our earth. These people say that CO2 is the driving force to global warming, however they fail to ignore other greenhouse gases like WATER VAPOR that make up over 98% of the greenhouse gases which only 0.001% of this gas is man-made.

When they ignore water vapor because they cannot control this gas which makes up over 98% of all greenhouse gases, they defend their dim arguements with charts like below. These types of charts ignore water vapor giving a person the sense that only CO2 is the issue. Gosh at 99.438% of greenhouse gases why not:)

It is hard to show it on this picture from Al Gore's movie to the right, but CO2 trails temperature as a function over time. Because he shows "y" axis in log-scale on the chart, it appears that CO2 and temperature are on top of each other, but they are not. Temperature is the leading factor.

What does this mean?

It means that CO2 does not drive temperature, but it does mean that temperature drives the levels of CO2.

Of course with all the money that can be made, why would they want you to know this?

I could keep going, but I want to save my writing for my fall classes.
