CO2 Exonerated

 
In the attached article, you will find an extensively-documented explanation of the fact that Carbon Dioxide originating from our use of coal, and other fossil fuels, is not the primary culprit when it comes to global warming.
 
As we have earlier reported, geological, and other, natural processes emit far more CO2 than we, with our coal use, ever could - irregardless of our documented ability to recover and recycle the gas. And, natural, inexorable, celestial forces, such as the various solar cycles we've reported, have far more influence on global climatic cycles than we puny humans could, or should, ever imagine having.
 
Some excerpts: 
 
"According to the three researchers, the overall phase agreement between the two climate reconstructions and the variations in the sunspot number series "favors the hypothesis that the [multi-decadal] oscillation (of global temperature - JtM) revealed in δ13C from the two different environments is connected to the solar activity," which further suggests that a solar forcing was at work in both terrestrial and oceanic domains over the past two millennia. Thus, and once again, we have additional evidence (that) solar forcing ... has been responsible for the 20th-century warming of the globe that led to the demise of the Little Ice Age and ushered in the Current Warm Period."
 
All the evidence, it seems:
 
"favors the hypothesis that the [multi-decadal] oscillation ... is connected to the solar activity ..."
 
We should still recapture and recycle as much of the Carbon Dioxide arising from our coal use as we can. It's a profitable and constructive thing to do. It could enhance our national energy security and lead to fuller employment, among other benefits. But, let's do it for those positive reasons, and in the right ways. Rushing headlong into foolishly-expensive and unnecessary procedures such as geologic sequestration, would be a panicked, unreasoning reaction to unfounded fears.
