Ok,

Watched it, yah there are some cooky things going on there (the whole Africa thing etc)

But there are a few points which I assume would be true (they wouldnt run it if it was absolutely false and easily disproved?):

The amount of total CO2 in the atmosphere is less than 0.0542%? Is that true?

The total amount of man made CO2 is less than volcanoes which appear to be far less than decaying leaves, animals and the ocean.

If the 0.0542% of CO2 in the atmosphere is correct, what is the % of humans? From the video I would assume it to be much less than 0.009% total?

If CO2 was causing global warming why is the Troposphere not significantly warmer than the surface (I wasnt able to follow that science exactly but it seemed logical that if GHG emissions are what is causing the increase in Earth's temp than shouldnt the atmosphere where they collect be warmer than the ground?)?

The 1940 temperature drop after WW2 when indisutrialization kicked into high gear?

Does anyone have a chart on the temperature from say 1820 to present (1820 because that is likely when the Industrial Revolution kicked in)?

I dont know enough about the science and am too lazy to look it up on wiki so I assume since so many of the first thread posters who called it junk science than should be able to answer those questions.

Also, the whole 800 years difference between CO2 and climate, does that not sound probably given the vastness of the oceans?

I agree, producing CO2 cant be great for the planet and should be decreased but when people blame the Stanley Park Storm, Tsunami, Hurrican Katrina, Rideau Canal not frozen till after Christmas then they need to back it up. I am assuming if we dont have those same events next year than those were junk assumptions?

Thanks
