This thread is not about temperature or the possible link between man-produced CO2 and global warming.
It is about the simple question: Has burning fossil fuels caused a measurable increase in greenhouse gases?
I thought this was a simple answer (yes... dramatic and irrefutable evidence in the ice cores that our CO2 has increased 25% in the last 150 years and is increasing at rate higher than any previous time in the 600,000+ year history available to us through ice cores.). But in another thread someone said it is absurd to claim that fossil fuels contribute to increase in greenhouse gases.
