You're missing the speed with which this is happening. Far beyond anything we can find a natural explanation for.
Repeating shit doesn't make it not shit. You've been shown what's wrong with this.

In about 800 million years when the sun's expansion and immense heat fries the planet to a crisp, it will still be blamed on CO2, should some climate activist homo sapien sapiens still be around.
The sun has been getting steadily hotter over an immense period of time with no let up. As the sun gets hotter, CO2 levels on Earth are bound to increase. It's the sun not CO2 that's responsible for the perhaps 0.03 C global rise in temperature over the last century or so.
Quit gluing yourself to Faux Noise.
1) Where does that .03C come from? Way too small.
2) Lets suppose that was the sun. Lets wind things back a couple million years and see where we are--about 600C lower than today. Oops, that's below absolute zero. The solar warming is due to helium building up in the core, it's not going to have sudden glitches.
Fuck me Loren. I really believed you to be a much more intelligent person than what you come across as in your post. Discarding the sun as irrelevant in Earth's global temperature is like believing in Adam & Eve as our first parents!
I was showing what was problem with ascribing the warming to the sun getting hotter. The effect is very slow!
According To NASA.................................According to an ongoing temperature analysis conducted by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8° Celsius (1.4° Fahrenheit) since 1880.

Is that slow/fast enough for you!
.8/158 years = .005/year.
.03/100 years = .00003/year.
The .03 number I was questioning is off by more than a factor of a 100 by your own data.
And lets take your real number into the past and see what happens. Lets go back to the time of Jesus--.005 * 2000 years = 10 degrees cooler. Oops, that's 50% cooler than an ice age. The sun's warming occurs at a pretty consistent rate, I guess the sun wasn't responsible.
You're also ignoring that there's a considerable inertia effect to temperature--it takes a lot of energy to warm or cool the oceans. Thus even if we stop spewing CO2 tomorrow the temperature will continue to rise for a while before we reach a new equilibrium.
