Fact? Really? Its been proven without a doubt that man is the
reason for increased CO2 levels? That's in question. And its even
more in question as to whether CO2 is the cause of the result of
GW. So your statement is not founded in FACT, but rather in
CONJECTURE.
According to you...
Show the numbers.

The AR4 just doesn't cut it. They are only willing to say that "since
1750, it is extremely likely that humans have exerted a substantial
warming influence on climate" and "For the period 1950 to 2005, it is
exceptionally unlikely that the combined natural RF (solar irradiance
plus volcanic aerosol) has had a warming influence comparable to that of
the combined anthropogenic RF."
This is a far cry from the 100% certainty that Cess is looking for.
Clearly, it isn't worth doing anything if its only "extremely likely"
that we have a problem. And since the scientists can only say its
"exceptionally unlikely" that natural influences equal the human
influence, that leaves a huge possibility that the warming was really
caused by a volcano that we didn't notice.
And obviously, if Global Warming was real, the President Bush would be
calling for setting goals on greenhouse gas emissions. Until that day
comes, nobody has anything to worry about.
This particular article has been disputed and the results have been
questioned. They changed the math to meet their anticipated results.
Sorry, read the appendices.
