However, a new force for change has arisen: humans. After the industrial revolution, humans introduced increasing amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and changed the surface of the landscape to an extent great enough to influence climate on local and global scales. By driving up carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere (by about 30 percent), humans have increased its capacity to trap warmth near the surface.First you say the NASA guy is Right, and then you contradict him!Guys, I hate to break it to you but the SUN is the reason this planet is warm.
Without it, this would be a dead planet.
The sun creates the very ozone that we depend on to sheild us from the sun's more dangerous rays.
Without the sun, we don't have oxygen, we don't have Co2, we don't have cloud, we don't water vapor.
The NASA guy is right.
Even whether we have summer or winter depends on whether we have direct sunlight or slanted rays.
It's all the sun people. Sure we el nino's and la ninas that effect weather. We have the jet stream, and on and on.
But NONE OF THAT HAPPENS WITHOUT THE SUN. Sun and sunspot activity is numero uno. To pretend otherwise you might as well claim . . .
Well AMC did a remake of "The Prisoner" last year (or was it the year before) and they had this great parody of global warming, where they told everyone in the village they had to buy a pig. Keeping a pig would keep more holes from opening up which was destroying their world.
And of course, keeping a pig had nothing to do with anything. It just made everyone "feel" like they were doing their "part."
Well, I'm sorry but we don't control the weather.
We can no more stop an ice age from coming, than we can a warmer earth.
It's in the hands of the Good Lord, and anybody on this planet who thinks he's that powerful has extreme delusions of gradeur.
Do you have even the slightest idea of what you are talking about?
And without the Sun this would be a cold planet, not a dead one. Water is the key to life, no matter how much Sun the Earth has, if there was no water there would be no life.
Oh Nice try, but you left out what came after that quote!

Here is what you quote. HERE IS WHAT YOU LEFT OUT!
Other important forcings of Earth's climate system include such "variables" as clouds, airborne particulate matter, and surface brightness. Each of these varying features of Earth's environment has the capacity to exceed the warming influence of greenhouse gases and cause our world to cool.
For example, increased cloudiness would give more shade to the surface while reflecting more sunlight back to space. Increased airborne particles (or "aerosols") would scatter and reflect more sunlight back to space, thereby cooling the surface. Major volcanic eruptions (such as that of Mt. Pinatubo in 1992) can inject so much aerosol into the atmosphere that, as it spreads around the globe, it reduces sunlight and cause Earth to cool. Likewise, increasing the surface area of highly reflective surface types, such as ice sheets, reflects greater amounts of sunlight back to space and causes Earth to cool.
What are the primary forcings of the Earth system? - NASA Science
IN OTHER WORDS, NATURAL PHENOMENA, we have no control over, more than overcomes your dreaded "greenhouse gases."
Nice try leaving out the next paragraph. Did you really think that was going to work.
