I should point out here, you have just played the numbers game ! Your illogical twist is contained in the phrase following your numbers.."due to human activity"? You assume that, do you not?
Not at all, the human footprint is quite evident. I have already presented the case to you before, but once again, like talking to a wall it's just not quite comprehended by you.

How do you know that the increase you cite was due to human activity?..Remember there are other variables, which include oceans heating and cooling. suns irradiance, etc?
The carbon in the CO2 has variations in isotopic levels, this forms the basis of working out which portion of CO2 is human induced. Read here and look at the scientific papers for further details.

You are doing just what the IPCC did with the studies it consulted. Assuming that the cause was due to CO2 and virtually ignoring the primary sources of climate change in an effort to confirm your hypothesis?
Again, I ask for evidence that the reports have ignored the other primary sources.

CO2 increased in the middle 20th century and yet we had a cooling period(1950-70) as it increased? Explain that one.
Are we going through that global cooling myth again? Again, I'll stress there was no global cooling period.

Your mind set is so rigid that when I point out experts who shoot down Gores..Inconvenient truth nonsense you dismiss it with statements you don't pay any attention to Gore.
Yes, I do ignore it because they're statements refuting Gore. I don't care what Gore said, I care about what the IPCC's review said as it is an amalgation of all the literature and not just a pick & mix. I'd probably rank Al Gore's film with Michael Moore's stuff in terms of documentary levels.

But pooey, its the guys like him who started the panic. Your whole belief system about climate change is so slanted towards CO2 and its anthropogenic causes you shut out any dissenters?
What panic? What belief system? I am merely reflecting the views of an International panel's review. Their report is far from doomsday-like. I would like to call your views panic-driven, you seem to have this view that if we were to lower our carbon dioxide emissions, we'd have to collapse our economies. As I cited earlier, that is not the case.

If you want to learn about the reason for CO2 lag and temperature, read here.
I eagerly await your critical analysis.
