Right logic, wrong words, "causality" in
science only means the proper sequence,
the cause must precede the effect.
My reasoning on global warming is that
it is very likely going on, but since there was ice
a mile thick across all of Ohio and Indiana 18,000
years ago, there must be a general warming trend
that hasn't stopped yet.
CO2 in the atmosphere must surely be
increasing because man burns coal and oil,
unless there is an unknown process where
carbon is disassociated from the oxygen or
combined with something else and it falls
to Earth.
But most climatologists say that water
vapor has 20 times the shielding, absorbing,
and reflecting effect as CO2.
