But if you look at the Sun's radiation over the last 30 years, it has NOT increased (other than going through its regular 11-year cycle which is currently delayed). Yet the global mean temp has been going up. Don't you see how that alone could lead a totally reasonable person to connect the dots in a way to blame the rising CO2 which is a KNOWN heat trapper? Add to that the fact that our stratosphere is cooling (because more heat is being trapped at the surface) and you have an even stronger case. And the fact that going back more the 600,000 years we can see from ice core samples that CO2 and temps are closely linked adds further evidence. I guess none of this is really "proof" of man-made GW, but to dismiss all this evidence as nothing meaningful is extremely ignorant and dangerous IMO.
