    Nope

    I never said I can prove anything, because science isn't about proof, it's a hierarchy of evidence.

    The evidence seems to show that CO2 does raise temperature, and as predicted by the theory. As I mentioned before, this is the opinion of the American Geological Society, and all other major scientific organizations.

    Your "theory" amounts to merely contradicting the science of others.

    If your solar activity theory is better, then you should be able to provide evidence that it's better, for example, you should be able to predict the warming trend better than the CO2 model. So let's see your charts.

    Again, you are the one making extraordinary claims, and if you are truly a scientist, you know that you are the one who needs to provide extraordinary proof.

    Simply asserting a position contrary to all of mainstream science, and providing zero evidence to back it up, does not prove your point. Claiming that your position is in the mainstream, likewise, does not make it true. You have provided no links that show anything you say is true, instead, George Bush-like, you assert the counter-factual repeatedly.
