Analyses of atmospheric gases trapped in polar ice suggest that before the Industrial Revolution, the level of carbon dioxide was 280 parts per million, a concentration that warmed Earth enough to make it habitable. Modern carbon dioxide readings first were taken in 1958. That year the level, which fluctuates slightly from season to season, stood around 315 ppm. Today, it exceeds 370 ppm.

Let's remember that CO2 is measured in parts per MILLION! To think that a 100 parts per MILLION increase in CO2 is causing global warming is preposterous. I bet the increase in CO2 that is being claimed is well within the margin of error of the testing equipment anyway...

The "Science" is laughable.
Hey Hank, don't you think there was a better snowpack back in '33?
That's what I thought too, got to be global warming.
It stated at the very start that the temps in rural CA have stayed quite consistent, while the city temp has soared almost three degrees.
Let's see, add three trillion cubic yards cement, cut down appropriate greenage for parking lots, add 200K people and accessories, it is not inconcievable the temp raised three degrees.
