Do you mean there was no CO2 in the atmosphere before the IR?

Right now Al Gore is probably too bust worrying about how he's not
making any money selling carbon credits.

So is gravity.

It is amazing how some words resonate with a segment of the population.
To say that something is a theory says nothing about it's validity. And
it makes no financial sense to pay lower taxes if you have to more than
make up for it in other areas. For example, with ridiculously high
insurance premiums.

Some glaciers are melting some are expanding. In any case, the
glaciers have been shrinking since the end of the last ice age. Every
glacier on the planet could melt and that still wouldn't prove that
man had anything to do with it.

I think that almost everyone agrees that the overall trend since the
end of the mini ice age has been one of warming. Accordingly, you
would expect that glaciers would be melting.

You must not have been looking very hard. Either that or you have a
unique definition of the word "evidence."
