CO2 induced?? This is still conjecture. As soon as CO2 gets blamed for anything other than the greening of the desert areas of the planet, these alarmists lose credibility. Their proof? A controlled experiment in an aquarium with elevated CO2 levels. For starters, the earth and it's atmosphere is not an aquarium. Their whole premise that CO2 causes global warming is just plain wrong!!
