Well, on formal logical grounds, proof that A causes B does not tell you anything at all about whether B causes A, and it definitely doesn’t tell you that B cannot cause A. If it did, fire wouldn’t work.

Also, the situation where CO2 rises smoothly over a period of a century or more, without any geological or climate driver, can only (as far as we know) be produced by a global industrial civilisation. So unless you think that there was such a civilisation at some point in pre-history, it shouldn’t be a surprise that you don’t see its fingerprints in the paleo-climate record. No-one thinks the last ice-age ended because the neanderthals were burning too many fossil fuels.

Knowledge of climateology is not required to refute most of the claims made in TGGWS – just basic logic. And if that’s the best the denialists have got, well, I’m even more convinced now than I was before.

“Why I love Randi, part n

Because he loves me too, of course.”

For goodness’ sake, just get a room, would you?!!!

As for Randi – I think he’s an electronic construct from Pixar (Disney lacks the sense of humor). No sane individual could be so rational and survive in the modern world.

Now, I’m going to go buy a 14 billion jars of peanut butter…

But you’ll have to wait for the DVD to know for sure…
