Debate: So..., you still believe in global warming, huh?
Side: Yeah, why not?

All the points you made are based on correlation and causal reduction, which are both argumental fallacies.Not at all. There are numerous different reasons why scientists know that greenhouse gasses are the cause of global warming, and almost none of them have to do with the fact that there is a current correlation between temperature and CO2. My somewhat simplistic explanation of the science behind global warming was merely as a way to convey the basic ideas behind the theory.First, we know that greenhouse gasses do influence the temperature based on the physical characteristics of the gasses themselves. Allow me to explain.Our planet is made up mostly of Nitrogen (78%) a significant amount of oxygen (21%) with some other gasses such as water vapor, methane and carbon dioxide making up the remaining one percent. Sunlight enters the atmosphere as relatively short wave radiation (visible and UV light) and when it hits the ground, it is emitted as long wave radiation (infrared radiation, a.k.a. heat). The gasses in our atmosphere allow short wave radiation to pass through relatively easily (this is why we can see through air). Long wave radiation also passes readily through both nitrogen and oxygen, however, it is absorbed by the three latter gasses I mentioned (water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide). When the long wave radiation hit's these gasses, it causes them to heat up and warm the atmosphere.This is, in general, a good thing because otherwise the long wave radiation would merely bounce off the earth and go into space, meaning that our earth would be a much colder place.The opposite is true as well. If we have more of these gasses in the atmosphere then that means that we have more infrared being trapped, and the earth gets warmed.All of what I just said is just basic physics, and is undeniably factual. None of it has to do with "correlation or casual reduction" as you implied.Now that we have established that more greenhouse gasses cause the planet to warm, and we can both agree that humans are producing more greenhouse gasses then occur naturally we have to ask ourselves, could there be some other cause?The answer is no.In one of your earlier arguments with me, you sighted the movie The Great Global Warming Swindle. I have already shown you evidence that the movie itself is rife with intellectual dishonesty of the lowest kind, however, if you would like to contest that point I would be happy to oblige a debate on the subject.One of the points the movie argues, however, is that the increases in warming over the last hundred or so years, has been primarily due to solar activity. They even use a graph which can be seen here. As you can probably see however the line representing solar output stops at around 1980. A little bit of research shows that the reason the creators of this movie decided to stop the graph at that point is because, while global temperatures continue to climb, solar output actually begins to decrease. Here is a full graph that shows what the movie conveniently left out.The fact is, solar activity has remained on a fairly steady 11 year cycle, whereas global temperature has been increasing dramatically. This shows that solar output could not be responsible for the earths sudden increase in temperature.Global Warming is the modern day definition of Pious Fraud, and how you can convince a crowd by persistent repetition and fear mongering, despite the lack of proper evidence.I hope that you now see how wrong this statement is. There are mountains of evidence that show that greenhouse gasses are responsible for the increase in temperature. I could easily have gone on to talk about ice core samples that tie temperature to carbon dioxide levels for thousands of years, or I could have talked about climate models that have predicted with a great deal of accuracy how the earths climate will be affected by increased emissions of greenhouse gasses.What I find most startling about your argument is that you provide no evidence to contradict any of my claims, but merely cry out that global warming is a hoax, and we are all being duped. If you know more than the thousands of climate scientists who are in agreement that we are causing global warming, then please share with us. Otherwise, maybe you should leave science to the scientists.
