I haven't followed this whole thread, but I'll just jump in here and
mention that a big chunk of your argument seems to be "Humans are
digging up lots of carbon stuff and burning it -- a huge amount -- and
that just MUST have some effect."

Okay, I don't know how big a part of your argument this is, but I have
seen it repeated several times as the "obvious" indicator of
anthropogenic global warmerinating.
