We can also observe a correlation between atmospheric CO2-

From the fact that CO2 gas has greenhouse properties and that there is a clear correlation between temperature rise and CO2 we can infer that atmospheric CO2 is the cause of global warming. The claim that global warming is not happening is bogus as there is a clear overall increase in temperatures.
Since you seem to like wikipedia references so much here is another one:
Correlation Does Not Imply Causation

I was well aware of that when I made my post, which is why I stated that CO2 has greenhouse properties thus an increase in greenhouse gases would logically lead to an increase in temperatures.
Do not say to me that we are not aware of the degree to which CO2 being a greenhouse gas would effect global temperatures, just look at mercury it has practically no atmosphere and the nights are freezing, venus on the other hand is full of CO2 which explains why it is warming constantly.

just like religion.
Not even facts yet, and all the environmental hippies are shoving it up to our assholes.
Go look up the definition of a theory according to science.

I'll end that sentence. A joke in simpler forms. Half the time they can't even predict the god damn weather right!

An El Nino cycle, which generally leads to hotter, dryer weather, was likely to affect Australia in 2010 or 2011, said the head of the bureau's National Climate Centre, Dr David Jones, leading to record highs.

"This is entirely consistent with climate change projections," Dr Jones said. "We shouldn't confuse local weather patterns with changes in climate and the long-term trend is for rising temperatures."
Well, we need more research and evidence to back that up...

Maybe thats why we beat you at football nearly half the time springfield?

lol what makes you say we need more research and evidence? what on earth are you basing that assumption on?

Well, he can't base his findings as 'entirely correct' because that's what he's trying to say in my opinion. It's only one sided at the moment; with no one else commenting.

Local weather patterns are screwed already. And he's saying we shouldn't base it on the climate change. Yet the media is advocating that it is caused by humans. Who to believe then?
