The Theory of Global Warming is True the greenhouse effect is to blame

Ok first off there was alot of Volcanic activity during the time of the little ice age and scientists believe that it was a major contributor to it being so cold because the ash is shot up into the stratosphere where it reflects the suns radiation back into space as well as the SO2 (sulfuric oxide) which at that altitude the gas turns into sulfuric acid which also reflects the suns radiation and you said that the three feet of snow happened around 1815 well guess what else happened around 1815 the Tambora volcano exploded and many scientists have come to believe that this volcano was the cause of the year with out a summer which was 1916 which is when that 3 feet of snow fell. that volcano spewed so much ash and SO2 into the atmosphere that the effects were catastrophic and thats where you get your 3 feet of snow from. now on to you barking about you think there would need to be a freak accident to raise the temp of the earth by one degree and i agree with you and ill tell you what the freak accident was. it was the industrial revolution! Before the industrial revolution CO2 was at 285 parts per million in our atmosphere and now it is almost 390 parts per million and the only explanation for this increase is humans and our burning of fossil fuels we have increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere by 26% since the industrial revolution that to me looks like a freak accident. A nearly 30% increase of carbon in the air and thats not even mentioning the other Greenhouse gases On to the coal power plants again and again yes what you see is steam coming from the smoke stacks but steam is water vapor and as we have said water vapor is a greenhouse gas, actually the most abundant one but thats not what bothers me what bothers me is that your ignorant enough to try and say when you burn coal to make steam you dont get CO2 from it because well you do! it might not come up from the same smokestacks as the steam but the coal is still burned to make the water into steam so Large amounts of CO2 are released from these plants whether you wish to recognize it or not and CO2 is a greenhouse gas and if you start about its just smoke that you see because greenhouse gases are invisible well they are there you just cant see them because well their invisible To say CO2 does not effect temp is wrong. CO2 effects temp greatly i say we look to what is considered our sister planet Venus she has insanely high amounts of CO2 compared to us and her temperature is higher than mercury's why because there is so much greenhouse gas in her atmosphere she cannot cool down because as i said before when i explained how greenhouse gases work; they allow the suns shortwave radiation to penetrate and reach our planets surface but when the planets own longwave radiation trys to be sent into space but it is blocked by the gases Anything i chose not to debate ( more sand on your beech) i chose not to because it has no relevance to this argument For my closing statement i will leave with a paragraph from my research paper on this very subject that i have been working on for about 3 months now ( the paper not the paragraph) The warming of our planet is mainly caused by the greenhouse effect. The actual effect is described amazingly well by William R. Cline in his article the Scientific Basis for the Greenhouse Effect; he wrote "any body in space emits radiation. The wavelength of this radiation is inversely related to the temperature of the body. The sun's radiation reaching the Earth is in the shorter wavelengths whereas outbound radiation from the earth is in the infrared longwave bands. Water vapor and the greenhouse gases are transparent to shortwave radiation but opaque to longwave. They thus permit the sun's radiation to penetrate to the Earth surface but trap a portion of the Earth's outbound radiation." (1) So the more Greenhouse gases we have the more heat that is trapped by the atmosphere and the hotter our planet gets. These gases are; carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Surprisingly though water vapor also contributes to this effect. The one greenhouse gas that has had a huge impact on the effects of global warming is carbon dioxide. It has risen by twenty five percent from pre industrial revolution to now. (1) This is due to fossil fuel emissions which are produced by the burning of fossil fuels. Fossil Fuels include petroleum products, (gas, oil, etc…) natural gases, and coal.
