Your argument hinges on the temperature having increased. But as I showed in my previous post, the temperature data cannot be trusted. Since you cannot show that the temperature has increased, your arguments about anthropocentric global warming have no merit.

temperature is only one part of the whole atmospheric engine. if you are basing your argument on the existence of dodgy USA data, then realise also that a significant area of the globe does not have any surface temperature readings taken. many current temperature readings are taken by satellite soundings, and help provide an average. despite appearances on a global scale the USA is a 'small' (though significant) part.

Of course it's happening. And of course we are responsible for the lion's share of it, through overpopulation, conspicuous consumption, and avoidance of cleaning up our waste products. The evidence is right there to see.

assuredly the evidence is there.
