Ok so canada.com is some whacky website? And one of the guys who started
the whole greenhouse gas thing is now just "any hypothesis"?

I'm not, I'm looking at the well known fossil record and saying 2 miles of
ice on top of where I now live, hmmm.. there must have been some sort of
temperature change that exceeded 6deg C.. probably wasn't fossil fuel use
perhaps we should eliminate other possibilities which we still have not
done.

ADM has armies of lobbyists pushing the gasoline causes global warming pov,
why? Surely you don't think they actually care about anything but making
money do you?

I did, 2 miles of ice covering everything from Canada to New York City.
Where did the ice go and why?

and I'm convinced the climate in my area has significantly changed in the
last 15 days, what does that prove?

Plausible, maybe maybe not. If it's cars then in cities we should be able
to measure a major increase in co2 levels compared to areas where there are
no cars. It would be like measuring pollution levels at the smokestack
instead of in the next valley.

How do you know that it's not 100 years of cutting down trees? Or 100 years
of dumping crap into the oceans? Or some natural cycle?
