I find the Mauno Loa graph most interesting. Carbon dioxide goes from 320 to about 400 parts per million. Please note the "parts per million" units. That means we've experienced a shift from 0.032% to 0.040% in our atmospheric composition. That amounts to a 0.008 change. Can a chemical composition shift that small actually induce the postulated effects? I think not. I'm going with the solar activity theory.

As to shutting down carbon dioxide emissions.... Those of us in the wealthy industrial world really carry little weight when it comes to advising developing nations on their energy policies. Shifts to gas/oil still generate tons of carbon dioxide. With our fear of nuclear power and the inefficiencies and low dependability of wind and solar, the US should get off of its high horse.
