Climate Change

I like to hear other opinions personally, I don't just pass things up as rubbish. Everyone has their own take on things and I find it interesting hearing the opposit beliefs of others. Some good points raised in this debate so far, Pete actually came up with, he wonders if global warming would have occurred without us causing it or being blamed for it.
 
Just wondering what was the man made effect that made it warmer than at present from 900ad to 1300ad, longer than the present 200 years
Not to mention when it was hot enough for the romans to grow vineyards as far north as lincolnshire
The Romans may have contributed to that warming period with their extensive lead mining across the Northern Empire...it also lowered the I.Q level by a couple of points for several hundred years so you might want to research your family tree for any aberrations.

I do usually talk the most sense...
 
Maybe it would all be happening without us anyway...who knows

A good starting point might be to look at the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. Before the industrial revolution it was 280ppm. But since humans started burning vast quantities of fossil fuels, it has gone up by more than 50% to 430ppm. I don't believe there is anybody who disputes that we have caused that increase.

So, the next question is whether that increase in CO2 has caused the earth's temperature to increase.
