Brutha,
I thought it was common knowledge that the earth's temp has experienced temperature shift to warmer and colder.

Below is an a link that I could find but I'm sure you could do your own research to find that the earth has experienced temp shifts before.

Also, I'm not married to the concept that global warming is not happening or that its not caused by CO2. Since I don't have an agenda I'm more than willing to believe that global warming is human caused. I think its highly possible and believable.

Its not just my opinion but it is a fact that there are people in the scientific community arguing both sides. It seems to be inconclusive that human CO2 is the main cause for global warming. To me there seems like there is not enough evidence to make it a fact.

Some are saying "Hey stupid can't you see the earth is warmer; this therefore means that its caused by humans and Co2 emissions". Since you're an analytical guy Brutha, surely you know that you cannot draw the conclusion that "Because the earth is warmer it must therefore be caused by CO2".

I always ask the question "Could we both be right?" Is it possible that we are naturally coming out of the "Little Ice Age" and also that the increased CO2 emissions is either speeding it up or making it increase slightly more than normal? These are all things worth looking at and only when you've made your mind up on something do you stop learning. I am eager to gather any more facts or data but just not so eager to draw a final conclusion so quickly.
