Though natural amounts of carbon dioxide have varied from 180 to 300 parts per million (ppm), today’s levels are around 400 ppm. That’s 40% more than the highest natural levels over the past 800,000 years.
So simple that even an anti science Republican can understand it.

Why does our government refuse to let anyone see how NOAA/NASA derived the conclusion that global warming is caused by man, are they afraid to show we the people the truth?

Agency won’t give GOP internal docs on climate research
The federal government’s chief climate research agency is refusing to give House Republicans the detailed information they want on a controversial study on climate change.
Citing confidentiality concerns and the integrity of the scientific process, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said it won’t give Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) the research documents he subpoenaed.
At the center of the controversy is a study that concluded there has not been a 15-year “pause” in global warming. Some NOAA scientists contributed to the report. Skeptics of climate change, including Smith, have cited the pause to insist that increased greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from burning fossil fuels, are not heating up the globe.
Smith, the chairman of the House Science Committee, vehemently disagreed with the study’s findings. He issued a subpoena for communications among the scientists and some data, leading to charges from Democrats that he was trying to intimidate the researchers.
Late Tuesday, NOAA provided Smith with some more information about its methods and data but refused to give Smith everything he wanted.
NOAA spokeswoman Ciaran Clayton said the internal communications are confidential and not related to what Smith is trying to find out. “We have provided data, all of which is publicly available online, supporting scientific research, and multiple in-person briefings,” she said.
The purpose of the Karl et al. paper was to erase the pause, clearly a political move, and one that is already backfiring in the scientific arena as noted climatologist Gerald Meehl has made some pushback against their politically based science. http://thehill.com/policy/ener.....research

“We stand behind our scientists who conduct their work in an objective manner. It is the end product of exchanges between scientists — the detailed publication of scientific work and the data that underpins the authors' findings — that are key to understanding the conclusions researched.

A real scientist will always want his work checked by all other scientists who both agree and disagree with him/her to prove that their work is accurate. As someone who really does have a degree in science we were taught to question all results until the results of any findings could stand up to any scrutiny of our piers. I think that your politically motivated scientists have been changing figures again to satisfy the administrations agenda or they would welcome a review by all.

It's called "peer review".
Survey finds 97% of climate science papers agree warming is man-made. Overwhelming majority of peer-reviewed papers taking a position on global warming say humans are causing it. http://www.theguardian.com/env.....ienceofclimatechange

of course humans have a very small effect. Do we change things in the scope of infinite time? we are a drop in the bucket. Ask the dinosaurs. Oh wait the dinosaurs are fueling our cars/homes etc.......they are what? oh extinct from an ice age? a warming?
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
