Saying CO2 is causing global warming is not based on fact it is a theory put forward generated by statistics. These same statistics can be used to give the opposite theory if you want it. Too much "science" is generated today by statistics rather than fact.
The effect of an increase of carbon dioxide on our so called greenhouse is insignifficant against the prime temperature stabiliser or greenhouse if you like, water vapour, which is 1000 times greater than the amount of cardon dioxide in the air.
There is a mammoth amount of CO2 absorbed in the ocean and raising the temperature of the ocean by 1 degree will release enough CO2 to account for the present rise in CO2 levels.
Our eccology is based on the carbon cycle which derives its energy solely from the Sun. Animal life burns its fuel to create CO2, Vegetables take this CO2 and with the help of the Sun and the catalyst chlorophyl remove the carbon and release Oxygen.
The rate of plant life extracing the carbon is affected mostly by the reduction in our great rain forests. Vast tracts of land that have become barren by forest clearing do actually cause a change in the air circulation pattern around the globe which is probably the main reason for any real climate change that we may be experiencing. Our burning of coal as a fuel produces less CO2 than the cycle of wild fires and volcanic activity around the planet and don't forget all the coal was once vegetation on the earth's surface taking the carbon out of the air and storing it.
Political correctness stops us from citing the main causes of pollution, the effects of human habitation. If we overnight stopped all generation of power by coal burning, I would not expect to see any signifficant change in the amount of CO2 in the air.
