How do we know CO2 is causing Global Warming?

Folks, also see the graph of CO2 in the atmosphere over time: http://mathburritos.org/Atmos-CO2.gif

Doesn't seem like a water tight argument at all to me.<p>How about the alternate theory that heating up causes CO2 to be released from the Ocean - the extra CO2 is not the cause of heating, but the result of it.<p>Way too much energy is being spent on this. Far more imminent threats to peoples lives and freedoms.

This article provides strong evidence for a minor and mostly undisputed point. This also proves almost nothing with regards to anthropogenic global warming, since I could write an identical article about H2O (maybe I'd need to tweak some citations).

Perfect example of the kind of straight-forward writing that is needed to help people to help people understand what's going on. It'd be great to see writing like this used to explain evolution clearly. (It may exist, certainly should exist, but I've never seen it.)

This is great. So line up the radiation measurements against temperature reports and you close the loop. ie, begin to form some sort of hypothesis about radiation and temperature.
