such a view does nothing to contradict the idea that carbon dioxide could be leading to global warming....right? After all, it's not like we have an example from the past in which man pumped CO2 into the atmosphere at our current rate...

Oh, no? There were at least two prior times in the geologic record (450 million and ~180 million) when CO2 levels were over ten times what they are now and they were both during major cold spells. (the top graph shows CO2 concentrations, the bottom, temperatures)


"The above chart shows the range of global temperature through the last 500 million years. There is no statistical correlation between the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through the last 500 million years and the temperature record in this interval. In fact, one of the highest levels of carbon dioxide concentration occurred during a major ice age that occurred about 450 million years ago. Carbon dioxide concentrations at that time were about 15 times higher than at present.":

And so you’re going to keep posting from that same outdated source, no matter how many times I point out the more recent information available...?
