First off let me bring to your attention where NINETY PERCENT of our CO2 comes from, the Oceans. It is created through chemical reactions beneath the water with the oxygen atoms bonding with carbon from underwater decay. This means that we are left to 10% out of the WHOLE EARTH. Is it even plausible that our percentile could make even the slightest change? As for the so called "ice caps melting" they have said for many years that Japan will be put under water, and every time it gets worse they say that we are already at the 20 year mark of change that Japan should be under water. Why isnt it? Also these temperature readings are completely jumping to conclusions. First let me ask you this, how long have we had accurate temperature readings? About FIFTY years, that doesnt even compare to the 4.5 BILLION years old that Earth is expected to be. Meanwhile during these billions of years our Earth has been going through cycles of different climate patterns and in them we have seen mini-cycles of peculiarly hot and cold temperatures (mind you, by mini-cycles I am speaking of dozens of years.) We have experienced such oddities before and the Earth has always recuperated. To assume that our little CHANCE of effecting our environment could create such a climate shift is both arrogant and foolhardy.
