True, but the point is that there's more to it than just carbon dioxide, even though that is a significant part of the problem.

The thing is the gas from geological activity is already accounted for.

Some warming is normal; this would be a cold, cold planet if we didn't have any greenhouse gases.

Try billions.  It's turned into a multi-billion dollar business, which is why they were scrambling to repackage it as 'climate change' instead of global warming after a couple of winters that were bitterly cold instead of not getting any snow.  Besides, from what I'm hearing there's science that disproves it as much as proves it.  Which makes it seem like Science-Drama to me.

give me a reference for an academic journal artical that gives substance to this view. (academic journals are where all peer review science is published).

a dont say that journals have a bias against controversy because theres hundred s of journals and they love controversy as much as the media because it sells

The thing is most of the alternate explanations either have flaws I can find or seem like no effort has been put into following up on them with research or experimentation to the point I question if they were they were ever created as a serious attempt to explain climate shifts or just to give anti-climate change the appearance of being scientific. More and more it seems like their just trying to pull the same Chewbacca defense thats worked so well for creationists, namely drowning out any legitimate science by making more noise while coloring them selfs with science just enough that they can accuse anyone who calls them out on this as being close minded.

One from back in this thread for example,
Theory: as the earth approaches Geomagnetic reversal all the energy not being used to power earth magnetic field becomes heat.
Problem: Geomagnetic reversals take thousands of years to complete and as such can't possibly account for the temperature change over the last 50 years considering their have been no mass extinctions that correlate to past reversals.

Wow, this is being discussed even here.

At least here in ex-USSR the anthropogenic global warming theory was never the dominating consensus, common attitude being "Man, I think the human impact is not important, but if it is, hell, let's go for it!".

Living in a cold climate does affect your perception of the issue. :-)

Heh, I've always held that climate change denialists are not, as is commonly assumed, oil industry stooges, but rather Canadian and Russian secret agents.

You speak lies! LIES!
