How has industrialization contributed to global warming?

Question

.

Answer 1

It's true the sunspot cycle is in the middle of a modern maximum:

But, if the temperature anomaly was 100% caused by solar variations, one thing skeptics are forgetting is that every eleven years, no matter what sunspot cycle we're in, the sunspot count is 0. Basic logic says, then, that every eleven years the anomaly has disappeared. Although some argue that it's stalled since 1998, it hasn't disappeared.

Answer 2

It hasn't.

Answer 3

Industrialization is totally responsible for the global global warming hysteria we're experiencing today....witch hunts tended to be regional before the current advances in communications and transportation.  

Unfortunately, no one seems to care about the Sun experiencing the highest solar activity levels in a thousand years.  This period in solar activity has even been named the Modern Maximum.  Go figure.  Just maybe the Sun warms the Earth (what a concept!).

Edit:  Laughing at the Harry Mime below.  Solar cycle minimums are rarely zero!  Typically when they do reach zero, the Earth turns into a big ice cube!  You aren't doing ANY research into the cause of climate change, and it shows...ha ha ha ha!

Answer 4

About as much as spitting in the ocean raises sea level.

Answer 5

Man has not contributed significantly to global warming. Ask the sun.
